The TTE Switch Unit is a modular system supporting configurations with 1 to 4 TTE switch boards.
-
Overview
The TSU is a rugged TTE switch system optimized for demanding Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) constraints of embedded space computer network systems and avionics for critical control applications. The TTE Switch Unit has a modular design allowing independent in-orbit replacement of the Power Supply Board, and Switch Modules. Each TTE switch board is installed in a dedicated slot and operates independently.
Power Supply Board provides each Switch Board with independently switchable power input, i.e. each Switch Board may be switched on/off individually via HV-HPC interface. Switch Board input power status is reported via binary status monitoring interface.
Applications
The TSU is a reliable and flexible building block for mission critical realtime avionics networks and an elegant solution for connecting a large number of IP-enabled devices, including cameras, sensors, payload, commandand-control equipment deployed in space infrastructures.
- Space: Space Stations, Space transportation systems, orbital infrastructures. Deep Space Gateway IHAB&ESPRIT
- Aerospace: Military and civil spacecraft.
- Defence: Battlefield communication, rugged networks, combat vehicles.
- Others: Radiation exposed environment (Medical devices, Nuclear Power Plant, Nuclear Research facilities).
