PRODUCT OF THE WEEK: Annapolis MicroSystems WILDSTAR 100GbE 3E20 Switch
Sponsored StoryDecember 05, 2023
This week’s product, the Annapolis MicroSystems WILDSTAR 100GbE 3E20 Switch, a rugged 3U board that provides switching between backplane slots of multiple channels of 100Gb Ethernet and features high density VITA 91 backplane connectors that double the available density to as many as 128 different pairs of Ethernet, delivering increases in bandwidth and reductions in latency.
The switch target applications such as electronic warfare, jamming, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR).
The WP3E20 also has HD connectors, which deliver dramatic increases in bandwidth and reductions in latency. It features as many as fourteen 40/100Gb and twenty-four 1/10/25Gb or six 40/100Gb Ethernet ports.
Two additional HD switches are coming soon:
- WILDSTAR 3P20 3U VPX PCIe/LVDS Switch – Up to 128 LVDS or eight 8x PCIe interfaces
- WILDSTAR 3H20 3U VPX Combo Switch – Combines 40/100GbE, Gen4 PCIe, and/or LVDS
WILD100 EcoSystem
The new switches join the Annapolis WILD100 EcoSystem of products, most of which were developed in alignment with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) Technical Standard and support C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS). The EcoSystem is an interoperable portfolio of rugged high-performance OpenVPX COTS boards and systems that are used for challenging data acquisition, digital signal processing, and data storage applications.
