XMC-SR / XMC-10SR

L2/L3 Switch Router XMC Mezzanine

Overview

The XMC-SR and XMC-10SR series are military-certified switch routers that take full advantage of SOC-E’s advanced and well-known networking technology to ensure the best performance and availability for mission-critical applications. The switching electronics are implemented in a high-performance FPGA, allowing the devices to be fully customized to each customer’s specific requirements. 

This MOTS approach, based on a field-proven COTS solution to minimize project risk, results in an all-in-one device, that combines switching, routing, firewall and edge computing capabilities in single hardware platform.

Fully compliant with VITA 42/61 standards and SOSA aligned, the XMC-SR/XMC-10SR series can adapt to almost any situation and meet the requirements of a Digital Backbone (DBB) in the most demanding military programmes.

Key Features

  1. Up to 17 configurable Ethernet 10/100/1000BASE-T and 1GbE/10GbE ports
  2. Full in-house design (including networking and synchronization IP Cores) based on a reconfigurable MPSoC platform with edge computing capabilities
  3. Optional “Zero-Packet Loss” redundancy based on HSR/PRP protocols for high-availability communications
  4. Advanced security means including IEEE 802.1X and MACsec, and optional firewall and VPN capabilities
  5. Simplified management and monitoring via a user-friendly HTTPS web interface or a flexible console port
  6. Compliant with VITA 42.0, VITA 61.0, VITA 42.3 and SOSA aligned
