Mercury Systems Announces 100 Gbps OpenVPX Backplane Data Transmission Rates
December 20 2018 - 4:15PM
Mercury Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRCY, www.mrcy.com) announced today
the availability of 100 Gigabits per second (Gbps) board-to-board
data transmission rates enabling next-generation PCIe® Gen-4, 100
Gbps Ethernet and InfiniBand™ high-speed switch fabrics to run
faster within OpenVPX™ embedded computing subsystems.
This new milestone in embedded computing technology more than
doubles previous OpenVPX switch fabric bandwidths and is made
possible through Mercury’s robust modeling and design for
performance capabilities with existing backplane and module
technologies. These capabilities produce higher fidelity
transmission lines that mitigate the impact of in-subsystem signal
channel limitations enabling next-generation data rates while
remaining compliant with open architecture standards including VITA
68.2 (signal channel compliance) and VITA 65 (OpenVPX). The
resulting high-integrity transmission lines deliver sustained data
rates of 100 Gbps and beyond with extremely low bit error rates.
The approach is so robust that it delivers consistent performance
across a broad temperature range, making it ideal for embedding
into rugged defense applications.
“Our customers are looking to add deep learning and artificial
intelligence (AI) to their next-generation sensor and mission
processing systems, and a key enabling ingredient is bandwidth.
With more and higher wideband sensors appearing on tactical
platforms, bandwidth has become a bottleneck to the efficient
prosecution of new and adaptive missions,” said Joe Plunkett,
Mercury’s Senior Director and General Manager for Sensor Processing
Solutions. “Mercury’s 100 Gbps OpenVPX subsystem fabrics removes
this constraint, enabling our customers to deploy today’s most
powerful processing capabilities at the tactical edge, confident
that the same infrastructure will also support future generation
processing requirements.”
The Company is currently developing 100 Gbps demonstration units
for delivery to customers in early 2019. For more information,
