The VPX3-656 is a SOSA® aligned 3U VPX Ethernet switch designed to bring deterministic networking to rugged defense and aerospace systems. With Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) capabilities aligned with the IEEE 802.1DP Aerospace Profile, the VPX3-656 enables time-critical Ethernet traffic to move across VPX systems with greater predictability, synchronization, and reliability. The VPX3-656 completes the Curtiss-Wright end-to-end TSN ecosystem, making it the first supplier to offer both a SOSA aligned TSN switching infrastructure and TSN-enable processing modules from a single source.
