Our FireRing® products offer a broad range of solutions for customers interested in AS1393, or its preceding version, IEEE 1393. We are experts in this area, and have experience going all the way back to the creation of the standard itself.

AS1393 is an intra-vehicular or intra-satellite fiber optic network, specifically designed to meet the unique needs of space applications. It supports high speed, truly real- time data transfer. The protocol has built-in redundancy, and is a great choice for systems that need to meet tight size, weight, and power constraints, and yet, it provides generous amounts of bandwidth with deterministic latency.

We offer the following products:

• Space qualified fiber optic transceivers, operating at 2.5 Gbps which can be used to implement the physical layer connections.
• AS1393/IEEE-1393 VHDL cores for use in FPGA or ASIC designs.
• 1393 Development boards
• 1393 DAVS (Development and Verification System), which uses a Labview GUI to allow the user to develop and test 1393 network configurations optimized for the user’s application.
• Gateway cores that connect 1393 to SONET, Firewire, or Gigabit Ethernet.
