Interface and Connectivity Solutions for Space

Cutting-Edge Solutions for Connectivity and Interfaces in Space Applications

We offer a variety of interface and connectivity solutions that are tailored for the space industry. These solutions support both advanced connectivity protocols and simpler interface options for the seamless integration and high reliability of space applications.

Key Connectivity Protocols That Our Solutions Support

Our connectivity products are built to withstand the extreme challenges of space, including radiation, temperature variations and harsh environments. Whether you need cutting-edge protocols or simpler, cost-effective interfaces, our solutions are engineered for performance, reliability and longevity in the most demanding space missions.

SpaceWire

This is a high-speed, flexible communication standard for space missions. Our SpaceWire solutions offer robust performance for onboard systems and inter-satellite links to enable real-time, high-bandwidth communication.

MIL-STD-1553

This is a widely recognized military standard for avionics and space systems for reliable data communication in the harshest conditions. We provide MIL-STD-1553 interfaces that are designed for longevity and resilience in space operations.

Controller Area Network (CAN)

This is a highly reliable and cost-effective communication protocol for small and medium-sized space systems. Our CAN solutions offer efficient real-time communication and fault tolerance.

Ethernet

We offer high-speed, reliable data communication for complex payloads, system integration and mission-critical operations. Our Ethernet solutions are optimized for space environments.
