Our Technology
“CetraC has pioneered a high-speed switching technology with a 10Gb backbone, entirely hardware-based using finite state machines.”
Properties
Coming from the aircraft manufacturing industry, our technology has three types of properties
Safety
Easier certification for airworthiness, up to D0254 DAL A
Frugality
Saves weight and reduces energy consumption (hardware does what is usually done by computers)
Security by design
Cyber security: we natively segregate data
Cyber resilience: the behavior of the device cannot be modified from remote
Additional Features
Switching Capacity
Ultra-low Latency
Determinism
Low Heat Dissipation
Our Products
Switches
Multi-protocol and/or multi-level gateways
Network access cards/end-systems
Remote data concentrators
Data diodes
Device Capabilities
Encrypt
Encrypt your data and ensure that sensitive information remains protected and confidential with AES256 GCM or other algorithms
Filter
Filter incoming and outgoing data to prevent unauthorized access and enhance network security
Convert protocols
Support 15+ protocols (Ethernet, AFDX, TSN, 1553, ARINC429, AXI, PCI Express, CAN FD, etc.)
Aggregate data
Process large volumes of data, and provide valuable insights for decision-making
Targeted Industries
Space
In the era of satellite constellations, CetraC.io enables customers to fullfill the ever growing quest for bandwidth, cyber resilience and energy efficiency, both for payloads and for ground segments
Railway
Connectivity becomes a must, from passenger wagons to the whole railway infrastructure including signalling, mandating cyber resilient and certifiable networking provided by CetraC.io
Automotive
CetraC.io supports the shift to Software Defined Vehicles and Software Oriented Architectures, providing performance, safety, cyber resilience and interoperability to integrate legacy subnetworks in the new centralised architectures
Naval
Cyber resilience is a growing concern in naval systems, that CetraC.io adresses in a smooth way, placing secure gateways at selected nodes of the architectures to increase the ships resiience
Aeronautics
Safety and cybersecurity as well as weight and energy reduction are the key requirements for new manned or autonomous aircraft, that CetraC.io adresses with full-hardware certified implementation and Ethernet TSN
OT
CetraC.io leverages its embedded technology into critical infrastructures such as energy and transport facilities, hospitals and medical devices, industry 4.0 and manufacturing sites, government and public buildings, enabling cyber secure interconnections with the outside world through its network diodes that will prevent any kind of intrusion

FAQ
CetraC is an independent French technology company. We develop a 100% hardware technology: high-performance FPGA & ASIC IP networking products for distributed architectures embedded in critical systems for various industries.
CetraC technology supports various protocols. Please refer to our technical documentation or contact us for more information on specific protocols.
You can get started by contacting our sales team to discuss your requirements. We offer various support options to help you get started with our technology and configuration.
CetraC customers can start with existing designs, or develop their own design, using a set of tools provided with our Toolkit.
Dezygnr is CetraC’s tool to design a new networking product. Dezygnr generates a set of files, XML based, that can be uploaded on your FPGA.
As a 100% hardware technology, CetraC is more than secure. It cannot be hacked, its behavior cannot be modified from remote locations. As it is based on an automat, the CetraC technology is immune to virus or malicious software and so cannot be remotely altered. There is no Software handling data streams, and memory buffers and hardware resources are segregated and dedicated to dedicated data streams. Moreover, CetraC natively supports AES-256 based hardware encryption. You can also develop your own data encryption algorithm using CetraC.
