Summary
- Ecliptic Enterprises launches new wireless networking and imaging products.
- New products include wireless access points, cameras, and interface units.
- Veteran NASA architect Todd Zatorski to lead the new initiative.
Ecliptic Enterprises, a company with over 25 years of experience in space avionics, has announced a significant expansion of its space networking offerings. Building on its success with human-rated Ethernet switches, the company is introducing new wireless products designed for the rigorous conditions of space missions.
Key among these new products are the Space Wireless Access Point, which provides high-throughput wireless connectivity within spacecraft; the Space Wireless Camera for interior and exterior monitoring; and the Space Wireless Remote Interface Unit, enabling wireless connection to instruments and subsystems. These systems aim to reduce cabling, simplify integration, and increase flexibility.
To spearhead this initiative, Ecliptic Enterprises has appointed Todd Zatorski as Networking Design Architect. Zatorski brings extensive experience from NASA, including his roles as Network Architect for the Lunar Gateway Space Station and Lead LAN Engineer at Johnson Space Center.
These new wireless products seamlessly integrate with Ecliptic's existing wired networking and avionics units, offering mission designers a comprehensive solution from a single provider. The company also offers these products across three mission-tiered availability levels: Rad Hard, Rad Tolerant, and Flight Heritage COTS.
