Pickering's scalable, modular switch system
used in this core avionics test system
How was this switching subsystem designed? A scalable, modular switch system was central to the final design allowing additional capability to be added as required. The initial concepts were based on the VXI platform, as the customer had previously worked with VXI-based equipment. They also did not think that PXI would provide the switching density required, however, after further consultation, it was concluded that the Pickering PXI switching and simulation product range not only met their requirements but would provide a more scalable solution with a lower risk of obsolescence.
