FEATURES
One of the most exciting advancement in technology over
the last decade has been unmanned vehicles including:
• Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or Drones
• Land autonomous vehicles (UGVs)
• Robots
• Other unmanned support vehicles
These vehicles must be agile, compact and highly intelligent.
In order to support this sophisticated intelligence, these
platforms may have to carry and connect a variety of
Ethernet-based devices including computers, sensors,
and targeting systems - all in compact platforms that
must operate in extreme environmental conditions. The
MILTECH918 is an ideal Ethernet switching solution for
these rugged environments. With the best combination
of size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) in the industry,
it saves valuable real estate and payload.
The MILTECH918 is a MIL-STD, fully managed
military grade network switch offering 8 triple-speed
(10/100/1000Mbps) ports. It can be remotely managed
to optimize communications and prioritize critical
information traffic. Advanced network features, never
before found in a package of this size, include switching
protocols, virtual LANS (VLANS), traffic prioritization
(QoS), and bandwidth aggregation are standard.
The MILTECH918’s gigabit speeds and 24VDC power
make it instantly compatible with any network device and
power systems. Its mechanical packaging enhancements,
including ruggedized SCE2 circular connectors, is designed
for MIL-STD-810F airborne and ground environmental
compliance and high reliability. Leveraging best-in-class
switching technology, the MILTECH 918 serves as a
robust commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution for
rugged LAN connectivity.
