Abstract
In this chapter, we will survey all the existing SpaceFibre-based products. First, we will give an overview of the state-of-the-art FPGA technology in the space domain able to host a SpaceFibre interface. We will then present and compare the available solution for SpaceFibre CoDecs, routing switches and Electrical Ground Segment Equipment. We aim to provide a valid survey and analysis on the technology available in the literature and on the market: doing so we will demonstrate the increasing interest that the SpaceFibre protocol is gaining and, on the other side, we will foster the adoption of the technology.
