100% packet capture•100% precision•100% of the time

Start

Our mission is simple

Precision 100% network packet capture to PCAP

Interoperate (not replace) existing tools ecosystem

Nothing more, nothing less.

100% packet capture

FMADIO packet capture systems are dedicated to 100% line rate 100G 40G 10G packet capture. Our secret sauce is fully in-house custom designed hardware and software from the ground up, achieving outstanding performance at excellent prices.

never drop packets

Cost Effective

We do not assemble parts from the usual vendors, everything is built from the ground up for cost optimized 10G 40G 100G packet capture.

As a small business our self, we understand outrageous support costs and overpriced analysis software is not cool. FMADIO delivers HW packet capture appliance without the baggage .

deploy everywhere

one tool done right

FMADIO takes a minimalist UNIX philosophy approach of "do one thing and do it well". We build the best wire to PCAP hardware system on the planet, and inter-operate (not replace) all your favorite tools such as Wireshark, Elastic Search and others.

without the kitchen sink

Real Support

Tired of that big name vendors 24/7 support hotline that never answers your question? At FMADIO your support questions are answered by the engineers who built the product. Always prompt and honest response without the sales guy rant.

no ifs, buts or shoulds
- capture that works

Applications

Sustained Line Rate Capture

Sustained Line rate 100G, 40G and 10G packet capture to disk is hard. Our devices are vigorously testing against sustained line rates for hours, days and weeks at a time. We believe packet capture in the most extreme network conditions must never drop packets, and so should you.

Time Accuracy

Highly accurate 10G packet capture with hardware stamps is a requirement in many applications. Not only do we have hardware packet time stamping, we can sync our onboard Stratum 3 clock to a PTPv2 Grand Master, or to a external PPS time source to sub 100ns accuracy. This provides multiple options to synchronize to local clocks or highly accurate global time from satellites.

feed your analytics

FMADIO Packet capture systems is a packet cache, where you process raw PCAPs and push the processed data downstream for further analysis and monitoring. Networks generate TBs and PBs worth of data. For long term retention it is not economically feasible to store everything for weeks, months and years.

The solution is to process the packets locally and reduce total data size. Then push the compressed results to data warehouses such as ElasticStack... and if you need full PCAPs, its there on 1TB-100TB of local storage.

capture + process + push == retention

Open Source Tools

At FMADIO we strongly believe in Open Source tools and philosophy. We use the open PCAP file format extensively and rely on the incredible work of 100`s of talented engineers who contribute to OpenSource projects we use. In a small effort to give back we have provided a collection of network processing tools available on GitHub.
