VPX & OpenVPX Backplanes

SOSA-Aligned, VME64x, VXS, and CompactPCI options — 3U, 6U, and hybrid form factors

Backplanes are the foundation of a rugged embedded platform. They define how modules connect, how data moves, and how well the full system integrates — mechanically and electrically.

Atrenne designs and manufactures backplanes to support a range of architectures, including SOSA-aligned OpenVPX/VPX, as well as legacy and hybrid approaches such as VME64x/VXS and CompactPCI (cPCI).

Find the right backplane by focusing on the details that matter

Atrenne's portfolio spans everything from straightforward VPX implementations to higher-performance OpenVPX and SOSA-aligned designs, including options engineered for modern high-speed fabrics (e.g., Gen-4/5 class performance tiers).
