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.

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.

We look at how the availability of 10 GbE Layer 3 switch technology will help eliminate data bottlenecks by bringing enterprise-class networking to the warfighter.

Curtiss-Wright's latest generation OpenVPX GbE switch module enables secure embedded networks. New 24-port 6U OpenVPX Gigabit Ethernet switch module modernizes connected embedded systems.

We take a look at high availability embedded networking and techniques for mitigating network failures.

VME-690 GbE Switch provides pin-compatible upgrade, interface configuration flexibility, and reduced power consumption.
