Cisco-based mobile IP network router for military and rail transit applications

Parvus Corp. in Salt Lake City is introducing the DuraMAR mobile Internet protocol (IP) router for harsh mobile environments in military and rail transit applications. DuraMAR is a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solution that leverages Cisco Systems’ industry standard IOS software and mobile access router (MAR) technology to enable military systems integrators to explore a wide range of new in-vehicle networking applications, from wireless Internet access to voice over IP (VoIP) to streaming video surveillance and smart vehicle diagnostics/maintenance. Designed to global industry standards for vehicle/military-grade electronics, the DuraMAR integrates a robust power supply and hardened enclosure isolated against voltage spikes, transients and harsh environmental stresses (shock, vibe, humidity, temperature extremes, EMI/EMC) experienced onboard trains, aircraft, and other vehicles. The unit’s power supply also incorporates intelligent power-management circuitry to prevent adverse power conditions from disabling the router. LED status indicators for power, network, and serial connections, as well as a console port and manual reset switch are located on the front panel. The rear panel includes a series of IP67 hardened Ethernet and serial connectors. For more information contact Parvus online at www.parvus.com.
