Eviden Launches XMC Ethernet Switch Card for Critical Environments

Eviden has launched the XMC Ethernet switch card, a cybersecure and sovereign solution for critical environments. Designed and manufactured in France, the card is a sovereign alternative to market offerings. It incorporates powerful protection mechanisms and is configurable, allowing systems to evolve. The card supports multiple protocols and is compatible with the AFDX standard, enabling seamless integration into existing avionics systems. It is DO-254 DAL A certifiable and developed in accordance with standards that support certification to the CC EAL 4+ level.

Eviden, a leading brand under the Atos Group, has announced the launch of its XMC Ethernet switch card, a cybersecure and sovereign solution designed for critical environments. This innovative product, manufactured in France, serves as an alternative to market offerings, providing a sovereign solution for mission-critical systems [1].

The XMC Ethernet switch card is designed with powerful protection mechanisms that filter information, detect issues, and report anomalies, ensuring secure and reliable transmission. It is configurable, allowing systems to evolve and partition data between open and secure environments. The card can be integrated with third-party embedded computers and Eviden's multi-level gateway solutions (MLS Gateway) [1].

The XMC Ethernet switch card supports multiple protocols and is compatible with the AFDX standard, enabling seamless integration into existing avionics systems. It is DO-254 DAL A certifiable, the highest criticality level according to the DAL, and developed in accordance with standards that support certification to the CC EAL 4+ level. This level of certification ensures that the product meets stringent security and reliability requirements [1].

Eviden's new Ethernet switch card is designed to meet the highest levels of criticality, making it suitable for applications in commercial and defense sectors. The card is expected to contribute to the growing demand for advanced avionics systems, which is poised for substantial growth, increasing from USD 56.22 billion in 2025 to USD 82.33 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 16.8% [2].

The launch of the XMC Ethernet switch card reflects Eviden's commitment to providing advanced computing, cybersecurity products, mission-critical systems, and vision AI solutions. The company's expertise in these areas positions it well to meet the evolving needs of the avionics market, which is driven by factors such as rising aircraft production, increasing air traffic, and the need for real-time data and automation [2].
