Space technologies are poised to become as ubiquitous as semiconductors, driven by advancements in communications, navigation, timing and Earth observation.

Modern aerospace applications combine RF for sensors and long-range communication with fiber optics for high-bandwidth data transmission.

Essential industry standards for compliance & performance

VITA (VMEbus International Trade Association) standards ensure compatibility of computer components from different manufacturers.

  • SOSA (Sensor Open Systems Architecture) standards, based on VITA 65, ensure off-the-shelf hardware compatibility for military use.
