Abstract
A multi-service platform system, includes a backplane (104), a switched fabric (106) on the backplane, and at least one of a VMEbus network and a PCI network coincident with the switched fabric on the backplane. A payload module (102) has one of a 3U form factor, a 6U form factor and a 9U form factor, where the payload module is communicatively coupled with the backplane using the switched fabric and at least one of the VMEbus network and the PCI network. At least one multi-gigabit connector (118) is coupled to a rear edge (119) of the payload module, where the at least one multi-gigabit connector is coupled to communicatively interface the payload module to the backplane, and where the switched fabric and at least one of the VMEbus network and the PCI network are communicatively coupled with the payload module through the at least one multi-gigabit connector.
