High Speed Digital Video on Legacy Aircraft Wiring

This proposal presents a solution to extend the bandwidth of existing aircraft wiring up to 100 Mbps and beyond. The proposed solution supports the coexistence of traditional signaling and high-speed signaling on the same medium. The underlying technology uses advanced signal processing techniques and a versatile protocol stack that supports high-speed video and data, high-speed MIL-STD-1553, and IP-based networking applications. This solution can be applied as a cost effective field upgrade to existing systems in military aircraft. BENEFIT: Enables modern applications such as high-resolution video on military aircraft by supporting higher data rates over existing wiring. This technology is easily deployed in the field avoiding costly rewiring of aircraft and avoiding downtime. In addition, this technology can be easily adapted for commercial applications to implement higher data rate communications over a variety of existing wiring.
