SOSA-aligned 3U VPX Ethernet switch time-synchronized data movement introduced by Connect Tech
Summary points:
- Connect Tech launches the VPG205 Graphite VPX 10G switch, a SOSA-aligned 3U VPX solution designed for deterministic, time-synchronized data movement in AI-driven edge systems.
- Delivers precise timing and synchronization with integrated Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) across PCIe Gen 4 and 10G Ethernet links.
- Accelerates AI edge development when paired with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin-powered VPX systems, simplifying prototyping, validation, and deployment for mission-critical sensor fusion applications.
GUELPH, Ontario – Connect Tech Inc. in Guelph, Ontario, is introducing the VPG205 Graphite VPX 10G SOSA-aligned 3U VPX PCI Express and 10-Gigabit Ethernet switch engineered for deterministic, time-synchronized data movement in distributed sensor fusion, perception pipelines, and AI-driven edge processing.
Featuring Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) support, the Graphite VPX 10G Ethernet switch provides synchronization across PCI Express Gen 4 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links.
Aligned with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) technical standard, the switch enables open-systems interoperable system design while reducing integration complexity and life cycle cost.
Prototype and validate
When combined with Connect Tech’s VPX Development System, accelerated by the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, developers can prototype, validate, and deploy on the same hardware used in production to accelerate the path from concept to field-ready solutions.
With connectivity and sensor fusion at the core of NVIDIA Jetson-based architectures, the Graphite VPX 10G switch complements Connect Tech’s ecosystem of AI edge platforms, including the Graphite VPX powered by Jetson AGX Orin by enabling seamless high-speed communication and synchronization between sensors, compute nodes, and distributed systems.
This unified approach ensures reliable, low-latency data transfer across heterogeneous networks, empowering developers to leverage NVIDIA Jetson performance in mission-critical, real-time applications.
