EBR-1553 incorporates the advantages of legacy-1553, and accelerates the communication by 10.

It is important to identify that 1553 and CAN Bus are targeted for physical control of systems, and not for voice data or video communication.

Control communication is required to provide real-time operation, as opposed to data communication which is required to transfer large amounts of data from point A to B.

For that reason, control-communication standards need to have very compact messaging which repeats itself 50 to 100 times per second. 

As of today, 2024, for control-buses such as 1553, CAN Bus and ARINC429, EBR-1553 is the fastest protocol available for new designs.

EBR-1553 is easily scalable. The RS-485 transceivers support rates of more than 50M bps, and the solid state digital chip can be fed with higher frequencies. The required effort to support 20 Mbps and 40 Mbps EBR-1553 variants is not high, making it future proof.
