In time, components in electronic systems are replaced by the next generation of more technically capable components, resulting in the obsolescence of the earlier devices. This is a natural progression, but by implementing a standardized, structured approach, such as VITA technologies, that maps out the next electronics evolution, you can effectively guard against, or at least prolong, such obsolescence.
Where various systems need to work cohesively, and system integrators are under constant pressure, VPX technologies respond to the needs of complex embedded systems.
The LightCONEX 12+12 Active Blind Mate Optical Interconnect solution for the embedded computing systems features 12-lane full-duplex transceivers, each lane operating at up to 12.5 Gbps for an aggregate bandwidth of up to 300 Gbps. These transceivers are rugged, small-SWaP, low-cost modules, specifically designed for the VPX systems commonly deployed in defense and aerospace applications.
Gerald Persaud, V.P. Business Development at Reflex Photonics was given the opportunity to participate in a VITA expert roundtable. Different questions were being answered by the roundtable experts. Here are Mr. Persaud's answers.
Amphenol Aerospace, a world leader in high performance rugged interconnect products, offers the most advance 6U VPX Media Converter Module using Reflex Photonics rugged embedded optics.
