Aeronix, Inc. Announces the Gigabit Ethernet Switch (GES)
Melbourne, Florida – April 10, 2009 - As 1553 bandwidth is filled and aircraft are integrating multifunction displays, moving maps, and multiple full rate video feeds, integrators are looking for an easy way to implement Gigabit Ethernet.
The Aeronix GES provides twelve Gigabit Ethernet ports in a rugged package designed specifically to address this problem.This allows integrators to worry about what to do with all of the data instead of how to move it around.
The GES is a 12 port Gigabit Ethernet switch which has been designed specifically for integration into aircraft where weight, size, and power are all of the highest priority.At less than 3 pounds and with dimensions of 8.25” x 5.1” x 1.38”, the GES is very compact which allows it to fit into spaces previously unusable for rugged, gigabit class switches.With an average power consumption of 16 watts with all 12 ports active, the GES is very low power which allows for ambient air cooling.Meeting MIL-STD-704A power specifications and shock/vibration qualification to aircraft gun fire levels, the GES will operate through the worst that your application can dish out.
The small footprint of the GES is not at the cost of functionality.At the heart of the GES is a fully manageable switch fabric which includes support for VLAN’s, QoS, Link Aggregation, IPv6, and Ingress/Egress monitoring.
The GES contains and in-band ARM9 management processor which will allow custom management functions as required by the integrator.A serial port is also available in the form of an Ethernet to serial bridge which allows control of legacy equipment from anywhere in the network.
