A protocol-agnostic switch fabric that routes at the electrical level — not the software layer.
X-Plex switches and routes high-speed protocols — Ethernet, USB, HDMI, VGA, RF, RS protocols, CAN bus and more — at the electrical level, simultaneously, across a single fabric. It's the networking backbone every other Emrys platform runs on.
| Problem solved | IT/OT infrastructure across defence, marine and industrial environments depends on switching hardware that operates one protocol at a time, at the software layer. That's a single point of failure and a ceiling on flexibility. |
| Key innovation | X-Plex operates beneath the software layer, at the electrical level, enabling true protocol agnosticism. No identified competitor — commercial and defence switching products on the market today operate within a single protocol standard. |
| Target markets | Defence, IT/OT infrastructure, marine and superyacht electronics, aerospace, commercial enterprise. |
| Status | Validated, tested, and patented — built on a published PhD thesis. X-Plex forms part of the Cyber-SHIP patent developed at the University of Plymouth. |
| Key milestone | First enterprise customer targeted within 9 months of incorporation. |
| Revenue model | Made-to-order manufacturing at £20,000–£35,000 per unit, with IP licensing planned long-term. |
