NTDS Matrix Switch

The MPS-32 Matrix Switch System features a flexible and scalable architecture which meets the needs of centrally or remotely located NTDS Type E Serial applications. Unlike a centrally-located large-system switching block, the MPS-32 enables network operators and test managers to design the best configuration to meet their switching needs. The scalable units make it possible to interconnect large tactical equipment co-located or remotely located into a non-blocking switching network.

The MPS-32 uses NTDS-to-Fiber technology, which multiplexes NTDS signals over fiber optic cables thereby eliminating the need for each channel to have individual copper lines between the switches. The MPS-32 provides low-latency as well as a transparent, non-blocking interconnection between any pair of devices. By regenerating 100% of the incoming signal, the MPS-32 ensures maximum data integrity. The switch system allows NTDS networks to be rapidly reconfigured using a PC or Master Switch Controller.
