Telemetry over IP (TMoIP) Solutions

The main purpose of telemetry is to remotely collect, transmit, and monitor data from vehicles, aircraft, or systems in real time. In aerospace and flight test applications, telemetry enables engineers to observe critical parameters — such as structural loads, engine performance, and navigation data — from a safe ground station without interrupting the test operation.

In networking, telemetry refers to the automated collection and transmission of measurement data from remote sources to receiving systems over a network. In flight test contexts, this involves routing PCM telemetry streams over IP networks using protocols that preserve timing, synchronization, and data integrity — allowing multiple remote users to access the same live data stream simultaneously.

TM over IP (TMoIP) is a technology that encapsulates traditional PCM telemetry data streams into IP packets for transport across standard Ethernet or IP networks. This allows telemetry data collected during flight tests to be distributed to multiple ground stations, remote facilities, or analysis workstations in real time, greatly increasing flexibility and reducing infrastructure complexity compared to traditional RF-only distribution.

Lumistar's LS-68 Series Digital Processing Engine natively supports Telemetry over IP (TMoIP). Available in small modular, portable lunchbox, and 1U rack-mounted configurations, the LS-68 integrates TMoIP alongside bit sync, frame sync, decommutation, and PTP time synchronization — making it a complete ground station solution with built-in IP network distribution capability.

Yes. The LS-68 Series is specifically designed for compact, low-power, and low-weight deployment. The portable lunchbox variant (LS-68-M-P1) is ideal for field-deployable and airborne applications, while the 1U rack-mounted version suits fixed facility installations. All configurations include full TMoIP capability, ensuring consistent performance across deployment scenarios.

Yes. The LS-68 Series includes an integrated IRIG Time Code Reader/Generator along with PTP (Precision Time Protocol) Network Time synchronization. This ensures that all telemetry data distributed over IP networks is precisely time-stamped and synchronized — a critical requirement for multi-station flight test data correlation and compliance with IRIG 106 standards.
