High-Speed Data Recording Solutions
The High-Speed Data Recorder That Never Drops a Packet
StreamStor® records, stores, and replays already-digitized data at full line rate. It is the recording engine behind your digitizer, sensor, or FPGA front end, A single stream captures at up to 160 Gbps, and one system takes eight 40 Gbps inputs or two at 160 Gbps, with room to scale further. Zero dropped packets, no capture code to write. Proven from radio astronomy observatories to radar ranges to 5G validation labs.

Recording at Full Rate Is a Systems Problem, Not a Storage Problem
At sustained multi-gigabit rates, a general-purpose server with fast SSDs will drop data. The operating system, the file system, and PCIe contention cannot guarantee a continuous write, and every buffer overrun is data you cannot get back. A StreamStor recorder is engineered around the rate: a hardware data path moves the stream straight to a dedicated storage array with no bottlenecks end to end, so capture stays gap-free from the first sample to the last.
Guaranteed rate, not best effort
Sustained capture holds the line rate with no dropped samples, verified in hardware rather than left to the OS.
Purpose-built data path
Data moves straight to a dedicated NVMe array. No file system or PCIe bottleneck sits between the stream and the disk.
Record and replay in one system
The same recorder reads data back out at full rate to drive a system under test. Playback is a full-rate data replay engine, not a data simulator or generator.

FAQ
Common Questions
What is a high-speed data recorder?
A high-speed data recorder captures a digitized data stream at full line rate, stores it with no dropped packets, and replays it at full rate. Conduant supplies the recording, storage, and playback engine that sits behind your digitizer, sensor, or FPGA front end.
How fast can Conduant record?
A single stream sustains up to 160 Gbps (20 GB/s), about 1 TB every 50 seconds, with no dropped samples. One Cobra system takes eight 40 Gbps inputs or two at 160 Gbps, and it scales beyond that when an application calls for it. Mark 6 records VLBI at 16 Gbps per channel.
What interfaces does it support?
Recording runs over AMD Aurora, the Keysight Optical Data Interface (ODI), and 10 Gigabit Ethernet today. A 100 Gigabit Ethernet recorder is coming. It drops in behind an existing digitizer or FPGA front end with no capture code to write.
Does it work with Keysight instruments?
Yes. Conduant records the digital stream from a Keysight or other digitizer over ODI, then replays it at full rate. It works alongside Keysight instruments as the recording and replay backend.
Can it play back recorded data?
Yes. The same system reads recorded data back out at full rate to drive a test setup or a system under test. Playback is a full-rate data replay engine, not a data simulator or generator.
What applications is it used for?
RF and spectrum recording, radar and electronic warfare test, signals intelligence, 5G and 6G communications test, and radio astronomy (VLBI), along with custom instrumentation and research data acquisition.
What makes up a Conduant recording system?
StreamStor Cobra recorders, PXIe NVMe storage modules (DM-4M.2, DM-U.2, U.2F) up to 128 TB, and Mark 6 for VLBI. Transport is AMD Aurora, Keysight ODI, or 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Custom engineering is available when a project needs it.
