Navy SPAWAR Selects X-ES As Sole Source for Embedded Routing Package

U.S. Navy researchers needed embedded computing services routers for command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) research work. They have now selected Extreme Engineering Solutions (X-ES) as the sole source basis for this rugged computing and routing package.

The XChange3000 carrier card will host an XPedite5205 Embedded Services Router (ESR) that runs Cisco IOS® Software with Cisco Mobile Ready Net capabilities, providing highly secure data, voice, and video communications to stationary and mobile network nodes across wired and wireless links.

The NIST FIPS 140-2 Overall Level 1 validated and NIAP Common Criteria Certified router offers high performance, four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, and a rich Cisco IOS® Software feature set, suitable for the most Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP)-constrained applications.

Each of the eight system assemblies ordered will contain an XChange3000 3U VPX-REDI XMC/PMC Carrier Card, an XPedite5205 Embedded Services Router (ESR) with Cisco IOS® on an XMC/PMC Mezzanine Module, and an XIt1074 Rear Transition Module (RTM) hosting an XIt2045 PMC I/O Module.
