We’ve been working with
Alta Data Technologies for more than 8 years, and in that time they have made a name for themselves in the UK as a top provider of MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC interface products, which are crucial for today’s military and aerospace industries. Starting with a strong focus on innovation and reliability, Alta has become a go-to source for high-performance data bus solutions that meet a wide range of needs. Their products, including PCI Express, Ethernet, Thunderbolt and USB interfaces, are durable, fast, and easy to integrate, making them a key component in mission-critical systems across the globe.
One of the most impressive products from Alta is the
ENETX-MA4, an advanced Ethernet-based MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC interface device. The ENETX-MA4 offers a whole new level of flexibility and performance by providing real-time UDP connectivity to for 1-2 dual redundant 1553 (A/B) busses and 4 ARINC channels. This is especially useful for applications that require remote monitoring, control, or data logging, as it streamlines the integration of 1553 or ARINC into modern Ethernet networks without compromising on performance or reliability.
- 1-2 Independent, Dual Redundant (A/B) MIL-STD-1553 Channels and Optional 4 ARINC Channels - Rugged MIL-810G/461/704, DO-160 Sec 22
- Thin-Server, Real-Time UDP Ethernet ** - Abstract API or Straight BSD Sockets
- FPGA State Machine – No Processor or Stack – Virus Proof
- Auto BM/RX Mode for Auto 1553-ARINC->Ethernet Bridging
- 5-32 VDC; 5V @ 7W Typical; One Channel < 5W; BM < 3W
- Small 14.2 x 7 x 3.5cm, 270g without cabling
Alta has combined the industry’s most advanced 32-bit 1553 FPGA protocol engine,
AltaCore™, with a real-time IP/UDP thin server. The customer can implement their application with the same feature-rich application programming interface,
AltaAPI™, as used with standard cards – often without even recompiling – the ultimate in code portability.
With its solid design and Alta’s powerful software tools, the ENETX-MA4 is tested to MIL-STD-704F/810G/461F and DO160, making it easy to manage both legacy and state-of-the-art aerospace systems.
What really sets Alta Data Technologies apart is their approach to providing not just products, but complete solutions. Their software packages, like AltaAPI and AltaView, give users powerful tools for development and testing, helping ensure that systems meet the tough demands of military and aerospace operations.
This all-in-one approach allows engineers to implement and maintain MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC systems quickly, reducing time to market and boosting overall system reliability. Plus, Alta’s strong customer support means their experts are always ready to help with integration and troubleshooting, making them a trusted partner in the industry.
