Rugged network switch LRU delivers 1/10G throughput, MACSec security, fiber optic connectivity, and Power Over Ethernet injection for deployed Mil-Aero platforms.

These trends – performance and convergence – are two of the most significant factors influencing today’s COTS networking designs.

Mike Southworth explains how in recent years, fiber optics has lost its exclusivity in regards to 10 GbE support. Formerly limited to 1 Gbit speeds, copper is now a viable alternative to fiber for 10 GbE using MACsec encryption.

Tammy Carter and David Jedynak discuss how huge data demands are pushing radar and electronic warfare (EW) developers to seek new ways to deliver multifunction systems that also meet strict size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements.

For applications that rely on high-speed delivery of real-time data, latency can be a serious concern that puts safety and mission success at risk.
