Spectranetix, Inc., a Pacific Defense company, is proud to announce the SX-153, ruggedized 3U OpenVPX high-speed, high-performance system switch solution. With a support of dual security enclaves, the SX-153 switch is one of the most flexible switch solutions on the market, capable of 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and developed in alignment with the U.S. Army’s C5ISR Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) and The Open Group Sensor Open Systems Architecture™ (SOSA) Technical Standard.

“Our customers need this technology to preserve its dominance on the battlefield against our adversaries.”
Driven by the need of the defense community for a high-performance secured switch solution in the 3U VPX form factor and aligned to the latest open set of standards, including the Technical Standard for SOSA™ Reference Architecture, Edition 1.0, published on September 28, 2021, the SX-153 was developed as a cost effective and reliable solution. With the design centered around two independent Layer 2/3 switch fabric chipsets from Marvell, the SX-153 provides six Data Plane fat pipe ports to the backplane and two to the front panel, as well as seven ultra-thin pipes for Control Plane ports to the backplane and one to the front panel. The four Data Plane backplane ports are configured to 100G Ethernet, one to 40G Ethernet, and the last fat pipe is split into four 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet ports to support the secondary Data Plane architecture in the standard CMOSS backplane configuration. All control ports are configured for the 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet. The SX-153 is a fully managed switch operating on standards-based L2/L3 and some L4 network protocols and is complemented with an extensive CLI library for configuration, control, display, and troubleshooting. The industry first product on the market to support integration with third-party encryption solutions, the SX-153 can be paired with the Government provided crypto modules to support the secure communication between different security enclaves.
