MILS0802-10TSN

Time-Sensitive Networking SFF Military Switch

Overview

In modern defence systems, real-time data transport is critical. Timing and bandwidth define mission success.

The MILS0802-10TSN is a rugged, compact military switch with integrated TSN capabilities designed to deliver deterministic Ethernet performance and high-speed connectivity up to 10 Gbps, enabling time-critical data flows across tactical systems.

Built for the most demanding operational environments, its small form factor allows seamless integration into space-constrained platforms such as ground vehicles, and mobile command nodes. Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) ensures bounded latency, low jitter, and synchronized traffic, making it ideal for real-time applications.

With full support for TSN standards and military-grade hardening, MILS0802-10TSN switch provides both performance and resilience in the harshest conditions.

Key Features

  1. 8x 10/100/1000BASE-T Copper Ethernet ports, 2x 10GbE-SR/LR Fibre Optic Ethernet ports
  2. Reconfigurable MPSoC platform with edge computing capabilities to be fully compliant with IEEE 802.1DP and other TSN profiles
  3. “Zero-Packet Loss” redundancy using TSN FRER for selected traffic combined with MSTP
  4. All-in one equipment with Grand Master and Clock bridging capabilities with accurate time distribution via IEEE 802.1AS

  5. Advanced security means including IEEE 802.1X and MACsec
  6. Simplified management and monitoring via a user-friendly HTTPS web interface or a flexible console port, compliant with IEEE 802.1Qcc for centralised configuration through YANG model configuration files
  7. Sealed military grade and compact enclosure with MIL-STD-1275E power supply
