Highly scalable with unprecedented data transfer rates, the Hardware Isolation Platform is a dual-segment solution that combines cutting-edge security and adaptive capabilities to ensure guaranteed spacial isolation of critical data and optimize diverse workloads.
- Cross Domain Solution - Control comms and data transfer between domains of different classification levels with an FPGA hardware firewall.
- Data Isolation - Remote areas of memory create a data buffer between CPUs or virtual machines, securely storing frequently accessed data.
- Mixed Criticality - Integrate workloads with different criticalities on a single platform while prioritizing higher criticality tasks over lower ones.

Customers can leverage our multi-tier approach to customization to reduce engineering costs.
- Our adaptable Build-to-Order (BTO) system provides for very short lead times and allows a product to be configured from a large set of predetermined parameters, with hundreds of thousands of BTO combinations available. BTO products are indicated in the product data-sheet and are shipped within 1-3 weeks, depending on the product.
- Our Semi-Custom products require some additional design and documentation effort but can be a smart choice when more flexibility is required.
- Lastly, a full Custom product can be developed when your budget and time frame allows. This option supplies you with a fully custom-designed and built lighting solution that will be engineered to fit your exact machine vision needs.

IRIS optical ground stations are built to cater to a wide range of applications (LEO/GEO/Probes), including Earth observation, high throughput bi-directional telecommunications, feeder link, or deep space missions. The IRIS systems leverage the Cortex Lasercom, a globally recognized optical modem that supports various standards such as SDA, CCSDS, and HPE.

The industrial manufacturing industry has been a sector of constant innovation for centuries, continuously leveraging the data from frequent iterations to achieve new solutions. This is no different today, driven by advancements in automation, the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies, the integration of IoT, and the shift towards sustainable manufacturing practices. These trends require the development of new testing protocols, thorough safety standards, and sophisticated quality control measures to ensure the reliability and efficiency of increasingly complex systems. Manufacturers must also address interoperability and cybersecurity challenges posed by interconnected devices and digital supply chains. Add the push for eco-friendly, sustainable manufacturing practices in conjunction with rigorous testing for compliance with environmental regulations, and achieving balanced testing facility solutions is no easy task.
