What CCX Technologies does

CCX Technologies is a privately held Canadian company, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, that designs and manufactures cybersecurity, networking, and data-collection solutions for safety-critical real-time operational networks in aerospace and defence. The company's technology platform is anchored by SystemX, a custom Linux-based operating system that runs across all CCX hardware products and can also be deployed on AWS, GCP, Azure, and on-premise virtual machines. SystemX unifies secure routing, multi-SATCOM management (supporting Ku-Band, Ka-Band, L-Band, and Air-to-Ground systems from Inmarsat, Iridium, Viasat, Starlink, GoGo, OneWeb, Thales, and others), software-defined networking, certificate management with PKI, and a Falcon Avionics intrusion detection system purpose-built for safety-critical avionics data buses (ARINC-429, MIL-1553, CAN Bus, ARINC-717, AFDX, ARINC-664).

The product portfolio spans aviation-grade secure routers (AP-251, AP-561 Micro-WAP, AP-156 air-gapped router, AP-160 16-port TSN switch), AI accelerator platforms (AP-285 edge AI at 157 TOPS, AP-750 rack-mount at 2070 TFLOPS), DataPHY aircraft interface devices for ARINC-429, MIL-1553, CAN Bus, ARINC-717, wideband audio, and analog signal capture, software-defined radios (EC-100 receive, EC-101 transmit) covering 0-9 GHz, ground-based SystemX servers (VM-200, VM-202, VM-240 CySOC, AP-700 security gateway), tactical consoles, antennas, and ARINC-600 lab/rack equipment. Revenue is generated through hardware sales, software licensing (SystemX on cloud and VM), professional services including development kits and engineering support, managed Security Operations Center services, cybersecurity penetration testing and audits, and white-label/OEM customizations. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with a channel partner network including L2 Aviation, Aeromech Incorporated, Fokker Services Group, and Avionics Support Group, supported by exclusive regional arrangements such as the GoGo Galileo Canadian Defence reseller position.

CCX holds Transport Canada Approved Maintenance Organization and Manufacturing Organization designations, is CMMC Level 2 compliant, and markets to commercial airlines, business aviation operators, military and defence organizations, and aerospace OEMs. The company emphasizes compact form factors, formally verified quantum-safe cryptography (SPARK/Ada, HACL* library), zero-trust avionics architecture without encryption, and open-architecture IDS rules as technical differentiators in a market segment with few direct competitors offering comparable integrated capabilities.
