Enable seamless, reliable switching & routing in VPX systems
Our OpenVPX switches and routers, some with SOSA-aligned options, provide systems integrators with a fast and powerful way to interconnect chassis, cards, and processors through switched Gigabit, 10 Gigabit, and 40 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Operating at wire-speed, these Ethernet switching and routing modules can be used to architect the network-centric infrastructure for backplane and twisted-pair networks within advanced military systems.
In today’s data-centric world, network connectivity forms the backbone of the most powerful deployed solutions.
Our OpenVPX switches and routers, many with SOSA aligned models, provide systems integrators with a fast and powerful way to interconnect processors, cards and chassis through switched Ethernet interfaces at speeds from 1 Gigabit through 100 Gigabit with both copper and optical connectivity. Operating at wire-speeds, these Ethernet modules support comprehensive Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing features to create powerful data distribution and interconnected architectures for backplane, optical and twisted-pair networks within advanced military systems.
Fabric100™
With single switch configurations offering power and budget savings, and dual domain configurations for systems engineered for independent security domains, these switches form the backbones of the highest performance data processing systems while maintaining backwards compatibility with lower speed interconnects.
With models available to support most OpenVPX and SOSA profiles, our switches are engineered to ensure reliable high-speed data sharing in any environment.
