First Public Demonstration of a SOSA-Aligned 100GbE VPX Switch

As you may have seen recently on social media and myriad industry news sites there was some very exciting technology demonstrated at the Tri-Service Open Architecture Interoperability Demonstration (TSOA-ID) on January 29 at Georgia Tech Research Institute.

TSOA-ID was the first time the three branches of United States Armed Services (Army, Navy and Air Force) were brought together with standards organisations including HOST, SOSA, CMOSS and VITA working alongside leading industry partners like Annapolis Micro Systems and Leonardo DRS to demonstrate the ease of interoperability of rugged embedded hardware and software modules.

TSOA-ID featured the very first public demonstration of a SOSA™-aligned 100Gb Ethernet-capable VPX switch and processing board. The next-generation WILDSTAR™ 100GbE 6E10 6U OpenVPX Switch and 6XB2 6U OpenVPX FPGA module from our partners at Annapolis featured in a live conformance and interoperability demo running within a US Air Force chassis.


Alongside the 100GbE demo, Annapolis also showcased the SOSA-aligned WILDSTAR 6XBU 6U OpenVPX FPGA Processing Board, which offers ultra-wide bandwidth digitisation and processing in a single 6U VPX board. It also delivers remarkable instantaneous bandwidth: 32 GHz receive and 24 GHz transmit.

Annapolis high-performance products can be used in a wide range of applications, including advanced HPC, ISR, and multi-function EW applications, such as phased array radar, cybersecurity network processing, DRFM, beamforming, sensor processing, wireless communication, and radar signal processing.

Not Recommended for New Designs - XCalibur1002 goes EOL

All good things come to an end. And the XCalibur1002 from Extreme Engineering Solutions (X-ES) is no exception.

The XCalibur1002 uses a component that will reach end of life status in December 2013. This obsolescence event will effectively end the life of the XCalibur1002 product series.

We are offering a last time purchase of the EOL component to potentially extend the life of the XCalibur1002 for your application.

Unfortunately, after December 2013 we cannot guarantee the future availability of XCalibur1002 product.

If you are looking to replace your legacy product the recommended alternative is the XCalibur1600 - a Freescale eight-Core P4080-based 6U cPCI module. Wind River VxWorks, Linux, and Green Hills INTEGRITY Board Support Packages (BSPs) are available.

XCalibur1600

XCalibur1600 features -
  • Conduction or air cooling
  • Up to 16 GB of DDR3-1333 ECC SDRAM in two channels
  • Up to 512 MB of NOR flash (with redundancy)
  • Up to 64 GB of CPU NAND flash
  • Up to 128 GB of SATA NAND flash (optional)
  • Three Gigabit Ethernet ports
  • x4 PCI Express to XMC sites
  • Up to four SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports
  • Two USB 2.0 ports
  • Two RS-232/422/485 serial ports
  • XAUI to XMC site
  • Two PrPMC/XMC interfaces
If you would like any details of the EOL or the replacement product XCalibur1600 please get in touch with Sarsen Technology on +44 1672 511166 or email the sales team - sales@sarsen.net
