Ethernet switch/router aims at connectivity within OpenVPX or SOSA aligned embedded system
NewsJune 05, 2024
CHATSWORTH, Calif. Aitech Systems announced the M622, a fully managed 10 GbE/40 GbE Ethernet switch/router on an XMC that is designed for use in embedded and harsh-environment applications with SWaP-C (size, weight, power, and cost) constraints.
The M622 -- based on an advanced and flexible Layer 2/Laye r3 (L2/L3) Ethernet switch and packet processor reaching up to 320 Gb/sec of full wire-speed bandwidth -- was designed for internal connectivity within any OpenVPX or SOSAT aligned ruggedized embedded system, between modern SBCs and other processing and I/O boards.
According to the Aitech announcement, the part will facilitate modern onboard Ethernet-based digital backbones and networks with requirements for IPv4/IPv6 routing, time synchronization, security, high reliability, and support for network redundancy. The high-speed switch/router is also aimed at markedly improving a platform's reliability and survivability in the field by offering a fast-boot mode, which enables the switch to be fully configured and ready for operation within 45 seconds after a power-up or restart event.
