Top-Level Architecture
MWAX is located on site at the MRO and comprises 24 new servers (+ 2 spares) and repurposes 10 of the existing servers on site at the MRO, occupying servers. Together the equipment occupies three racks. Output visibilities are transferred to Curtin, and ultimately Pawsey, via existing fibre-optic links.

As per standard IP multicast, any device on the voltage network can “join” the multicast for one or more coarse channels and a copy of the relevant stream will be passed to them.
For MWAX, an array of 24 (+2 spare) identically configured MWAX Servers are connected to the core Cisco 9504 switch (on site at the MRO) via 40Gb Ethernet. Each MWAX Server is responsible for one coarse channel (1.28 MHz) of bandwidth. For a 256T array, the data volume is approximately 11 Gbps per coarse channel.
