MILS0800-SR

L2/L3 SFF Military Switch Router

Overview

As modern military vehicles become increasingly digitised, Ethernet has become a critical backbone for enabling high-speed, reliable, and interoperable communications between onboard systems. From sensor integration to real-time data sharing, Ethernet ensures seamless connectivity across mission-critical platforms.

The MILS0800-SR switch is the entry level model of the new MILS platform series. This  compact unit provides high-performance Ethernet switching and connectivity in space-constrained military environments.

Compact in size. Powerful in performance. Designed for duty.

Key Features

  1. Entry level 8x 10/100/1000BASE-T Copper Ethernet ports
  2. Full in-house design (including networking and synchronization IP Cores) based on a reconfigurable MPSoC platform with edge computing capabilities.
  3. Simplified management and monitoring via a user-friendly HTTPS web interface or a flexible console port
  4. Sealed military grade and compact enclosure with MIL-STD-1275E power supply
