Summary points:
Kontron VX3406 3U VPX Ethernet board is for rugged command-and-control and unmanned systems in harsh environments.
Six independent 1G Ethernet ports ensure zero bandwidth contention, enhanced cyber security, and precise traffic control.
Integrated PCI Express Gen3 switch with TSN support enables low-latency deterministic Ethernet without legacy protocols or external switches.
TOULON, France – Kontron Modular Computers S.A.S. in Toulon, France, is introducing the VX3406 3U VPX Ethernet board for use in harsh environments.
The board offers as many as six 1000BASE-T ports each managed by a dedicated Ethernet controller, ensuring zero bandwidth contention, superior fault and cyber security isolation, and precise traffic prioritization.
Designed for command-and-control, unmanned vehicles, and connected warfare applications, the ruggedized low-power embedded computing communications board ensures high resilience, secure segmentation, and real-time data handling in harsh environments.
PCI Express Gen3 switch
The VX3406 3U VPX Ethernet board integrates an 8-port 8-lane PCI Express Gen3 switch to enable systems designers to use as many as four independent 1G/2.5G ports supporting TSN/IEEE1388. The board has as many as two dedicated 1G copper ports.
Easy integration of TSN-capable controllers across several independent ports avoids the need for legacy deterministic protocols or external switches, and is for uses that require low-latency, jitter-free deterministic Ethernet communications.
