Parvus Corporation previewed its new DuraMAR® 3230 rugged mobile router at the Navy League Sea Air Space Exposition, which was held at the Gaylord National Resort, National Harbor, Maryland, from 4 May to 6 May. The DuraMAR 3230 is Parvus's next-generation in-vehicle rugged router subsystem based around Cisco Systems' 3230 mobile access router technology and Parvus's Gigabit Ethernet switch hardware in an ultra-rugged chassis optimised for harsh military and civil vehicle/aircraft installations.
Underscoring its application for internet protocol (IP)-based situational awareness, the DuraMAR 3230 boasts the highest Ethernet switch port density of any known Cisco 3200 series-based commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) product. The unit's sealed MIL-C-38999 connectors bring out a Cisco IOS-managed 10/100 WAN port, three IOS-managed 10/100 switch ports and 13 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet switch ports, as well as two multi-protocol serial ports and a RS-232 management console port.
The unit is also equipped with a data zeroization button for enhanced security and a conductively cooled chassis with near cable-less internal design for solid reliability under high mechanical stress.
By integrating Cisco's mobile router together with Parvus's modular PC/104+ Gigabit Ethernet switch cards, the DuraMAR 3230 significantly expands local area network (LAN) port count and bandwidth while consolidating switch and router functions into a single hardened subsystem designed to MIL-STD-810F and MIL-STD-461E environmental conditions.
This IPv6 compliant switch/router is designed for prime defence contractors and civil agencies to achieve mobile communications-on-the-move (COTM) and a wide range of new in-vehicle networking applications in even the harshest shock, vibration, thermal, ingress and EMI environments. The unit's military-grade power supply supports aircraft and ground/marine vehicle voltage inputs, spikes and transient levels (MIL-STD-704E, MIL-STD-1275B with limitations).
