Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU), a provider of precision space infrastructure solutions including satellite Data-as-a-Service, has announced the development of a high-speed switch card using the Frontgrade protocol-independent Crosspoint Switch. This multi-payload switch card, integrated into LizzieSat-2 (LS-2), is also available as a standalone product to support the small satellite supply chain.

"At Sidus Space, we are at the forefront of innovation, collaborating with industry leaders to develop reliable and adaptable technology capable of withstanding the harshest spaceborne conditions. By continuing to integrate cutting-edge in-house 3D printing technology into our product portfolio, we achieve unparalleled precision and customization, setting new standards in the industry while delivering exceptional value to our customers," said Carol Craig, CEO of Sidus Space.

The Sidus Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) Switch Card functions as a port replicator, extending the capabilities of the payload processor and enabling communication with multiple optical sensors via high-speed LVDS data connections. LVDS is a standard for high-speed, low-power communication that uses differential signals to transmit data over long distances. The Frontgrade 3.125Gbps Crosspoint Switch enhances redundancy and fault tolerance, aligning with the Space VPX VITA 78 standard for avionics boards and interconnects between space systems and components.

Sidus Space plans to utilize its business operations, marketing resources, and reputation as a trusted space systems supplier to bring this advanced technology to market. Full-rate production of the Sidus switch cards is expected to begin in 2025.
