In modern defense networks, secure communications can’t wait for field technicians. XENOptics delivers automated, robotic fiber distribution designed to perform under fire—literally. Our Smart Optical Switch (XSOS) platforms eliminate manual patching and human error across mission-critical military networks. With passive-latching security optics, super-capacitor UPS resilience, and zero-touch operation, these systems provide unbreakable optical connectivity even in the harshest, most unpredictable environments.
Certified to NEBS 3, ETSI 300019 Class 3.2, and IEC 60068-2-14:2023, XENOptics fiber switches are built from the ground up for field-replaceable, zero-downtime operations. Whether deployed in hardened mobile command units, NATO cyber defense centers, or autonomous radar installations, our ruggedized robotic platforms offer secure optical switching at unprecedented scale, reliability, and tactical advantage.
Fiber is no longer just a transport medium—it’s a strategic asset. Xenoptics switches are engineered to withstand battlefield conditions, operating from -40°C to +70°C, with full vibration resistance and shock protection. Unlike traditional optical patching hardware, our robotic systems do not degrade under environmental pressure or require on-site intervention to restore service.
Every Smart Optical Switch includes a passively latched 3D-OS robotic architecture. Once a connection is provisioned, it holds without power. Even during extended outages or under attack, critical links stay online.
“Our switches don’t just survive— they maintain connectivity autonomously. That’s the definition of mission assurance.”
Xenoptics eliminates field maintenance from the equation. Our systems perform non-blocking, robotic fiber distribution at scale—remotely, securely, and instantly. Mission planners, cyber defense teams, and network operators can dynamically reconfigure optical paths without ever dispatching personnel to a hostile site.
Defense users gain:
• Remote Reconfigurability: All switching operations, provisioning, and physical changes are managed through an encrypted interface.
• No Traffic Loss During Replacement: Modules can be swapped in the field while traffic continues to flow—no fiber is physically disrupted.
• True Zero Trust Optics: All connections are verified, logged, and authenticated via SNMP or API from your secured NOC environment.
Where other systems fail, Xenoptics endures. All components—power supplies, switching modules, slack management trays—are hot-swappable and designed for field replacement. There is no need to interrupt operations for servicing or scaling.
Each unit also incorporates onboard diagnostics, status LEDs, and configurable alarms for immediate local response—even in disconnected environments.
In defense settings, power is unreliable and often contested. That’s why our XSOS series integrates a super-capacitor UPS system that ensures all in-progress switching operations are completed safely during power events. Combined with passive-latching, this architecture guarantees no data loss—even in blackstart scenarios or under electronic attack.
At the core of Xenoptics systems lies a robotic switching fabric based on our patented 3D Optical Switching (3D-OS) topology. Unlike mechanical or MEMS alternatives, 3D-OS offers both scale and failover assurance:
All systems are connectorized by default—ensuring speed, modularity, and field serviceability. Spliced configurations are available for specific defense use cases but discouraged due to complexity in mobile units.
All products meet or exceed:
This makes Xenoptics uniquely suited for deployment in aircraft hangars, forward operating bases, shipboard control centers, and subterranean C4ISR nodes. Switches maintain full operational integrity under sand, dust, vibration, humidity, and extreme thermal fluctuations.
Defense operators demand precision, auditability, and secure integration. Xenoptics delivers:
Note: SSH and Telnet interfaces exist but are restricted to internal support staff. Customers do not receive access by default, ensuring compliance with zero-trust best practices.
Deployed in 19" rack shelters with rear-access panels, Xenoptics enables NATO operators to reroute fiber between classified segments, even while the shelter is sealed and pressurized. Super-capacitor UPS and passive-latching maintain encrypted link continuity during power cycling, while remote software provisioning lets joint operations staff allocate optical resources without exposure to physical risk.
XSOS switches serve as the physical enforcement layer for isolating attacker and defender segments during kinetic cyber testing. Robotic switching ensures no overlap, no human error, and no crosstalk. This same configuration supports secure testbed orchestration in lab environments replicating adversary conditions.
Mounted inside ruggedized street cabinets or armored command trailers, Xenoptics CSOS units enable pop-up mesh architectures that can be reconfigured in minutes. Operators gain resilient, unmanned distribution at the tactical edge—with no compromise to fiber quality, security, or bandwidth.

Xenoptics systems are already integrated into field trials and hardened shelters across NATO-aligned defense networks, where service agility, survivability, and control matter most. From satellite ground stations to radar fusion clusters, we provide optical control with no physical risk, no service degradation, and no compromises.
Whether you're designing a resilient C5ISR fiber core or automating a next-gen cyber defense lab, Xenoptics delivers unmatched control, survivability, and scale. Secure your mission-critical links with robotic fiber distribution that won’t flinch under fire.
