The controller has dual 1000BT outputs initially providing 23 Msps (380 Mbps) of bandwidth to the AXN, which
comfortably exceeds current Flight Test requirements. To meet future demands for increased bandwidth for FTI
programs, it will only be necessary to upgrade the controller. This will allow for newer high-speed modules to be
installed while still supporting existing modules.
