New Rugged 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch Card Introduced by Curtiss-Wright



8-Port Fully Managed Switch PCI/104-Express Card Features an Advanced Layer 2 Fully Managed Network Switch with Layer 3 Static Routing



ASHBURN, Va. – Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) today announced that its Defense Solutions division has introduced a new 8-port variant of its Parvus SWI-22-10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch card, the industry’s leading rugged multi-port GbE switch module. It delivers a Layer 2 fully managed network switch capable of Layer 3 static routing in a compact card just 3.6” x 3.8” in size. Designed for use in size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C)-sensitive military and civilian embedded network system applications, the 8-port SWI-22-10 card features the same carrier-grade GbE switching silicon and management software as the original 20-port SWI-22-10, but uses lower-cost connectors that support 8-ports of GbE. This small form factor PCI/104-Express module also features an RS-232 console port, LED activity indication signals, and support for Built-in-Test (BIT) to detect system faults. Compared to alternative solutions, the SWI-22-10 provides superior ruggedization and management software features.  In support of information assurance requirements, the card also provides support for a “zeroize” sanitize function that enables users to declassify the product and erase configuration information.



Built for use in harsh environments, the SWI-22-10 has been MIL-STD-810G validated for optimal performance in extreme shock, vibration, and thermal (-40 to +85C) environments. The 8-port SWI-22-10 is ideal for use in SWaP-C constrained ground vehicles, unmanned air systems (UAS) and fixed-or rotary-wing aircraft that require Ethernet connectivity for their on-board devices. It enables high-speed GbE Local Area Network switching for IP-enabled equipment, such as on-board computers, cameras, sensors, monitoring devices, and command-and-control. It is ideal for use in situational awareness upgrades and network centric architectures in sensitive mobile, tactical, airborne, and vehicle applications.



“The new 8-port variant of our popular Parvus SWI-22-10 Gigabit Ethernet switch card provides our customers with their choice of a 20-port or an 8-port configuration to best match the port density, power consumption, and cost targets of their applications,” said Lynn Bamford, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions division. “This robust switching component furthers our commitment to deliver the industry’s best combination of high performance and SWaP-C reductions at the extreme environments at the network edge.” 



Advanced Network Management Features

The card’s advanced network switch features include full Layer 2 Ethernet switch management and static Layer 3 IP routing. It is designed with a low-power, energy-efficient switch fabric with hardware-based precision timing support (IEEE-1588v2) and full management capabilities, including support for:

• IPv4 and IPv6 multicast traffic

• Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs)

• Port control (speed / mode/ statistics, flow control)

• Quality of Service (QoS) traffic prioritization

• Link Aggregation (802.3ad)

• SNMPv1/v2/v3 management

• Secure authentication (802.1X, ACLs, Web/CLI)

• Redundancy (RSTP/MSTP)

• Port monitoring

• IGMP Snooping

• Data zeroization.



Integrated Network Switch Solutions

The 8-port SWI-22-10 can be used as a standalone card or pre-integrated by the factory into an embedded system solution, such as Curtiss-Wright’s Parvus DuraCOR® or DuraWORX® mission computers. The 20-port card model is available pre-integrated into the DuraNET 20-10 switch subsystem, as well as the Parvus DuraMAR® 5915 “3X” Cisco®-based router subsystem.
