The TTESwitch MYTHOS is an integrated Deterministic Ethernet switch for spacecraft avionics networks. It forms the core of reliable Ethernet-based data networks, supporting standard Ethernet (IEEE 802.3), rate-constrained (ARINC 664 part 7), and time-triggered Ethernet traffic (SAE AS6802), and is used to connect onboard avionics subsystems in spacecrafts ranging from launchers, through space exploration vehicles, up to the satellites. The switch is a standalone device built in a compact box and is available as an off-the-shelf product.
The switch is built using the industry proven TTESwitch Controller HiRel, implementing switching and management functions on the silicon using radiation hardening design techniques.
