Micro-Second Connectivity Solutions for High-Volume Data-in-Motion
Missing Link Electronics (MLE) develops micro-second connectivity solutions and ultra-low-latency hardware accelerators designed for high-volume data. By replacing software-based protocol stacks and legacy bus architectures with deterministic hardware pipelines, MLE eliminates data-in-motion bottlenecks, reduces CPU overhead, and cuts latency down to the microsecond level with nanosecond-range jitter.
To guarantee functional safety, cyber-security and hard real-time MLE builds on top of FPGA technology from partners AMD, Altera, Achronix, Lattice Semiconductor, and Microchip. World-wide, applications such as autonomous mobile and humanoid robots, aerospace, industrial control automation, wired and wireless telecommunications, test & measurement and vehicles benefit from MLE’s tailored connectivity solutions.
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) & Humanoids
Next generation robotics will be defined by a better balance between centralized compute and local intelligence, and by better flexibility to partition control, communication, sensing, and local processing under real physical constraints. MLE’s High-Bandwidth, Low-Latency Spinal Cord for Robots converges networking for deterministic real-time control with communication, sensing, and local intelligence.
Aerospace Systems
Modern AD systems rely on split-second reaction times while processing massive streams of radar and else in real time. The Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) and standards like SOSA (Sensor Open Systems Architecture) replace closed hardware/software systems. MLE’s solutions facilitate fast and reliable connectivity between modules and between entire systems.
In-Vehicle Networks
Modern zone-based automotive architectures require high data rates and real-time behavior at the same time. MLE solutions include stacks and subsystems for in-vehicle networking, and prototyping systems for efficient development and testing.
Industrial Control Automation
Generative AI and high data rate machine vision push bandwidth demands for real-time industrial networks beyond 10 Gbps. MLE solution include SmartNICs and access points for low-latency, low-jitter real-time networking, and for virtualizing PLCs.
MLE provides FPGA Function Accelerator Cards and SmartNICs for wired and wireless communications. A unique combination of technology from Fraunhofer HHI plus MLE’s patented and patent-pending Full Accelerators accelerates Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and SD-WAN.
Test & Measurement
MLE has been working with 3rd party system companies to deliver reliable, customizable turnkey solutions for high-speed data acquisition, recording and replay, as they often are needed in Test & Measurement systems for automotive, aerospace, defense, industrial, etc.
Security and Trust
MLE provides solutions to secure products based on FPGA technology: MLE has ported OP-TEE to AMD/Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC / RFSoC and Versal including support for black keys, PUFs, eFUSES, etc. Furthermore, MLE has introduced networking security products for deep packet inspection and Smart Data Diodes, and high-speed TCP/UDP/IP Encrypted Network Accelerator Solutions (ENAS).
