TTTech's Time-Triggered Ethernet (TTEthernet) is a breakthrough communication technology that combines the reliability of traditional Ethernet with the precision of time-triggered protocols. Designed to meet stringent safety requirements, this IP is fundamental in environments where fail-safe operations are absolute, such as human spaceflight, nuclear facilities, and other high-risk settings.
TTEthernet integrates seamlessly with existing Ethernet infrastructure while providing deterministic control over data transmission times, allowing for real-time application support. Its primary advantage lies in supporting triple-redundant networks, which ensures dual fault-tolerance, an essential feature exemplified in its use by NASA's Orion spacecraft.
The integrity and precision offered by Time-Triggered Ethernet make it ideal for implementing ECSS Engineering standards in space applications. It not only permits robust redundancy and high bandwidth (exceeding 10 Gbps) but also supports interoperability with various commercial off-the-shelf components, making it a versatile solution for complex network architectures.
