- New Fabric100™ VPX3-6816 complements Curtiss-Wright’s recently introduced VPX3-1262 14-core 13th Gen
- Intel® Core™ processor SBC to provide system designers with a powerful SOSA aligned 100GbE 3U processing board-set
Denver, Colorado, USA. 24 April 2024 . Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions Division today introduced the VPX3-6816, a Sensor Open Systems Architecture™ (SOSA) aligned 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Switch for use in next-generation rugged processing systems, at the Army Aviation Mission Solutions Summit. The low-power and affordable rugged 3U VPX™ module is designed and optimized to deliver the low-latency, high-speed Ethernet backbone required by modern aerospace and defense sensor processing architectures and supports a rich set of multi-layer L2 switching and L3 routing features. The module supports up to thirty-three (33) Ethernet ports with any mix of 1, 10, 25, 40, 50, and 100GbE port speeds. In addition to being aligned with the Open Group SOSA Technical Standard, the VPX3-6816 is also available in configurations that support numerous existing OpenVPX™ profiles.
“Our Fabric100 family delivers a complete end-to-end solution for architecting 100Gbit SOSA aligned rugged systems,” said Brian Perry, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions Division. “The low-power, low-cost 3U VPX3-6816 Ethernet switch module is the latest addition to our Fabric100 suite and provides high-speed switching with the trusted performance that today’s advanced sensor architectures demand.”
