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.

Backplane Ethernet: Enabling High-Performance Embedded Systems
Ethernet has grown to become a universal networking technology, evolving to provide ever faster links over a wide range of media. To meet the need for higher performance,
many embedded systems now use “backplane Ethernet” to communicate between cards in modular systems.
