SX-620
MN-MIMO MANET
The SX-620 is the industry’s first 3U OpenVPX plug-in card to introduce MN-MIMO technology to the SOSA™ and CMOSS ecosystem. Powered by the Silvus StreamCaster 4400 mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) radio, it delivers high-speed data rates up to 100 Mbps across frequencies from 300 MHz to 6 GHz, ensuring resilient, self-healing communications in contested environments. The SX-620 supports voice, video, data, and Position Location Information (PLI) communications, making it ideal for applications that demand reliable networking in dynamic and challenging conditions.
Engineered for defense, aerospace, and commercial sectors, the SX-620 integrates seamlessly into existing and future Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) systems, offering full interoperability with military radios such as the Silvus AN/PRC-169(v)1 and AN/PRC-169(v)2. Its robust architecture supports high-bandwidth, scalable mesh networks, with spectrum-dominance features like anti-jamming, making it a versatile solution for tactical vehicles, command posts, and other mission-critical platforms.
