This webinar presentation explores the implementation of Ethernet connectivity in rugged military computer systems, specifically focusing on VPX-based platforms. David Tetley from Elma Electronic introduces the challenges of transitioning Ethernet signals from within a system enclosure to external connections, explaining various backplane protocols and media conversion techniques.

As new chip technologies are incorporated into cards designed to align with the SOSA™ Technical Standard and OpenVPX, physical cooling limits become more challenging and impact system design.

learn how platform power requirements are driving designs for modular computer systems designed for use in air and ground vehicles. Subject matter experts David Gash and Ken Grob focus on the challenges posed by varying power levels and specific performance parameters for military platforms.
