Parvus Corp. in Salt Lake City is introducing the DuraNET 1268 Gigabit Ethernet switch for military combat vehicles, aircraft, ships, and submarines. The commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) rugged IP networking switch is to enhance situational awareness in size, weight, and power (SWaP)-constrained harsh-environment applications. The Layer 2+ Gigabit Ethernet switch has 10 triple-speed 10-, 100-, and 1,000-megabit-per-second ports for connecting IPv4- and IPv6-compatible computing devices aboard network-centric manned aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned ground vehicles, and other military platforms. Designed for demanding MIL-STD-810F environmental and MIL-STD-1275/704/461 vehicle power and EMI conditions, the unit has all industrial temperature grade components, near cable-less design, a submersible chassis, and no moving parts. This GigE switch can operate as a standalone network switch for intra-vehicle device communication or as a companion device for Layer 3 mobile routers to expand onboard Ethernet port density.
