XMC-TSN / XMC-10TSN

Time-Sensitive Networking Endpoint Switch XMC Mezzanine

Overview

The XMC-TSN and XMC-10TSN series are military-certified switch routers that take full advantage of SOC-E’s TSN technology to deliver both performance and availability improvements over traditional networks. 

TSN allows to merge hard real-time and best effort traffic on the same network, and to deliver messages on-time without any loss or disturbance in the traffic. This leads to reduce equipment costs and to simplify maintenance, making it the first choice for future Ethernet networks. 

Fully compliant with VITA 42/61 standards and SOSA aligned, the XMC-TSN / XMC-10TSN series can adapt to almost any situation and meet the requirements of a Digital Backbone (DBB) in the most demanding military programmes. The switching electronics is implemented in a high-performance FPGA, allowing to adapt the equipment to the latest versions of the TSN profiles, keeping it at the forefront of technology.

Key Features

  1. Up to 17 configurable Ethernet 10/100/1000BASE-T and 1GbE/10GbE 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 optional Grand Master and Clock bridging capabilities with accurate time distribution via IEEE 802.1AS
  5. Advanced security means including IEEE 802.1X and MACsec, and optional firewall and VPN capabilities
  6. Simplified management and monitoring via a user-friendly HTTPS web interface or a flexible console port. Compliant with Qcc for centralized configuration through YANG model configuration files
  7. Compliant with VITA 42.0, VITA 61.0, VITA 42.3 and SOSA aligned
