Octal SpaceWire PCIe Interface Card
![]() |
The iSAFT Octal SpaceWire Interface Card is an advanced PCIe SpaceWire interface, supporting SpW simulation with error injection and built-in recording capabilities. It is suitable for multiple applications in the space sector, including Data Front-Ends, EGSE/SCOEs.
The card is based on TELETEL’s powerful SpaceWire codec, and it is a proven solution in various spacecraft /satellite testbeds in Europe and Japan.
The board is delivered with a practical SDK, and can be complemented with additional software modules allowing to save development / integration time.
