OnTime Networks launches Cloudberry CM-4000 MIL Series
OnTime Networks announced the launch of its new Cloudberry CM-4000 MIL Series military-grade Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switches on 4 May.
The Cloudberry CM-4000 MIL Series includes the CM-4012F0-MM-MIL, a small form factor rugged commercial-off-the-shelf 12-port GbE switch. It is suitable for use in climatically harsh and noisy electrical demanding environments on land, in the air and on sea. These include land vehicles, aircraft, UAVs and naval vessels.
Markus Schmitz, managing director in the US, OnTime Networks, said: 'Today's modern platforms demand sophisticated communication technologies and a reduction in system size, weight, power and cost to comply with operational life and budgetary constraints.
'One key challenge of our customers is to integrate multiple network assets, from multiple vendors, in one system architecture. These complex onboard networks contain dozens of networking devices that must be interconnected including audio, video, recorder, data acquisition units and IP-based sensors.'
Schmitz added: 'The Cloudberry CM-4012F0-MM-MIL Series is an ideal solution for mobile Ethernet-equipped platforms, such as aerial vehicles, as it can be remotely managed to optimise communications and prioritise critical information traffic.
'Our rugged, scalable, distributed network solutions are specifically designed for the harsh environmental requirements of the aerospace and defence industry as they are able to withstand extreme temperatures, shock, vibration, humidity, dust, sand, water, and electronic interference.'
