MILS0802-10GM

Time Server and L2/L3 SFF Military Switch Router

Overview

In modern defence operations, precise time synchronization is a mission-critical asset. Time is the invisible backbone of coordinated action. Without accurate synchronization, communication, targeting, and situational awareness can be compromised quicky.

The compact MILS0802-10GM military switch is designed to deliver secure, accurate, and resilient timing at the tactical edge. Its small form factor allows for seamless deployment in mobile platforms, UAVs, tactical vehicles, and field command posts, where space and power are at a premium.

Offering speeds up to 10Gbps, SOC-E’s advanced cybersecurity features are combined with time serving functionalities in this space-efficient switch.

Key Features

  1. Grand Master and Clock bridging (NTP <-> PTP <-> GNSS) capabilities with accurate time distribution via IEEE 1588 (PTP)
  2. 8x 10/100/1000BASE-T Copper Ethernet ports, 2x 10GbE-SR/LR Fiber Optic Ethernet ports
  3. Full in-house design (including networking and synchronization IP Cores) based on a reconfigurable MPSoC platform with edge computing capabilities
  4. Firewall and VPN capabilities, combined with advanced security means including IEEE 802.1X and MACsec, among others

  5. Simplified management and monitoring via a user-friendly HTTPS web interface or a flexible console port
  6. Sealed military grade and compact enclosure with MIL-STD-1275E power supply
