SWH1530VP Boosts Multi-Mission Systems
On June 22nd, Pacific Defence introduced the SWH1530VP, a next-generation 100/40 Gigabit Ethernet switch, in El Segundo, California. This switch is engineered to enhance secure, high-performance networking for C5ISR, electronic warfare, and edge computing applications.
Compliant with SOSA™, CMOSS, and OpenVPX™ standards, the SWH1530VP supports up to 100 Gbps networking. It is a dual-enclave switch that integrates both Data Plane and Control Plane Ethernet switch fabrics, allowing for physically separated network enclaves while maintaining high-speed networking.
Pedja Mitrovic, VP of Modular Products at Pacific Defence, stated, “The SWH1530VP addresses a critical need for secure, high-performance networking in modern mission systems where multiple security domains, high-speed data movement, and precise timing must coexist within an open architecture framework.”
Designed to meet the growing requirements for secure multi-domain mission systems, the SWH1530VP integrates independent Data Plane and Control Plane Ethernet switch fabrics capable of supporting up to 100 Gbps networking while maintaining physical separation between security enclaves.
Built on Advanced Technology
Leveraging Ethernet switching technology from Marvell’s Prestera® Aldrin2 and Ironman device families, the switch offers Layer 2/Layer 3 switching protocols, Quality of Service (QoS), VLAN support, and IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP). It also includes integrated MACsec security acceleration and supports future Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) capabilities via software updates.
This platform delivers advanced standards-based networking capabilities including various Layer 2/Layer 3 switching protocols, static and dynamic routing, VLAN tagging, port mirroring, and multicast support with IGMP snooping.
Future Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) capabilities can be supported through software enhancement, enabling deterministic networking for increasingly complex mission systems.
Meeting ANSI/VITA 48.2 VPX REDI conduction cooling and VITA 47 environmental standards, the SWH1530VP ensures reliability in demanding military environments. It supports interoperability across a broad ecosystem of open systems hardware and software solutions.
