Grasbrunn, October 20. As high-speed embedded systems become more powerful, validating their performance becomes increasingly challenging. COMTEL Electronics GmbH has received a Silver distinction at the 2026 Military + Aerospace Electronics Innovators Awards for its VPX 200G High Speed Measurement Card, a specialized solution developed to support precise signal integrity testing in next-generation backplane architectures. The award was presented in the Test and Measurement / Embedded Computing category.
High-speed data transmission is essential to modern embedded computing applications. Yet increasing bandwidth also makes it more demanding to ensure that signals reach their destination with the required quality and reliability. This is where accurate measurement and validation become critical. COMTEL’s VPX 200G High Speed Measurement Card supports the characterization of high-speed backplane connections, helping engineers assess signal integrity and validate system performance.
The technology addresses the requirements of next-generation VPX platforms supporting 50GBASE-KR and 200G Ethernet connectivity, with applications ranging from defence and aerospace electronics to advanced networking and high-performance computing. By providing engineers with dedicated measurement capabilities, the solution supports the identification and analysis of potential signal transmission issues during system development.
Elisa Füchsl, Head of Finance (CFO) at COMTEL Electronics: “Every major advance in performance creates new demands for testing and validation. For our customers, it is not enough to know what a system is designed to achieve. They need confidence in how it actually performs. This award recognizes the importance of precise measurement in turning technological potential into dependable solutions.”
COMTEL combines expertise in high-speed backplane development with signal integrity analysis, simulation and testing. Its measurement solutions complement the company’s advanced backplane technologies and development platforms, enabling engineers to address performance and validation requirements as part of an integrated development process. The Silver Award is one of four distinctions received by COMTEL Electronics at the 2026 MAE Innovators Awards, reflecting the company’s work across high-speed connectivity, system configuration, evaluation and testing.
