OnTime Networks Introduces Machete Router: A NIAP-Certified Tactical Routing Solution for Military and Aerospace Applications
Saturday, June 28, 2025
OSLO, Norway, June 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OnTime Networks, a leading provider of rugged time-synchronized networking solutions, announced the Machete Router version 2.1, a fully featured IP routing platform engineered for mission-critical use in military and aerospace environments.
Designed for deployed and demanding tactical applications, the Machete Router is a NIAP/CSfC network device/VPN gateway that optimizes communication in dynamic battlefield conditions. With a strong emphasis on long-term support, the Machete Router helps programs avoid the premature End-of-Life (EOL) challenges often associated with larger commercial networking manufacturers.
Tactical Performance, Built-In
Machete's Tactical Routing Package enables a host of mission-critical features:
-- Bandwidth/loss/latency sensing between routers to automatically select
the optimal communication path
-- Optimized multicast operation that tolerates RP failures and minimizes
flooding
-- Enhanced NBMA support for multicast emulation across non-broadcast links
-- Advanced compression of routing-control data to improve performance over
low-bandwidth SATCOM links
Hardware and Virtual Options
Machete is offered as both:
-- A rugged embedded router, complementing OnTime Networks' CR-4000,
CR-6000, and CR-7000 platforms
-- A virtual appliance enabling compact, low-power, cost-effective
deployments for less demanding environments
Advanced Tactical Communication
Machete supports seamless air-to-air and air-to-ground communications across multiple radio waveforms, including 4G/5G, ANW2, CDL, SATCOM, Streamcaster, TSM-X, TTNT, WiFi, and more. It ensures secure, resilient data, voice, and video dissemination among mobile and stationary nodes.
Key Benefits:
-- Mission-assured multicast delivery in contested and congested
environments
-- Cost-effective modernization of legacy airborne networks
-- Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) for vendor interoperability
-- Backward compatibility with existing network applications and
infrastructure
-- Long-term product availability for sustained program support
The router is currently deployed on applications throughout the USA and Europe.
