High-rel VITA 65- and SOSA-aligned Gigabit Ethernet switch for harsh environments introduced by Kontron
ISMANING, Germany – Kontron AG in Ismaning, Germany, is introducing the VX3940 managed 3U VPX Layer2/3 Gigabit Ethernet switch for harsh environments.
The switch offers secure management interfaces and availability for alignment with VITA 65 and the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) standard.
The switch offers sustained line rate for all packet sizes, 1/10/25G/40G/50G uplink options, and ports as fast as 32x 10Gb or 8x 40Gb, , and is designed for space-constrained military and aerospace applications as a gateway in network-centric warfare applications.
The VX3940 Gigabit Ethernet switch can be monitored via SNMP and its command line interface enables easy management and remote configuration by either serial or network interface.
