Telco Systems Presents Two Military Targeted Rugged Ethernet Switches
The military are known to be among the greatest powers in a state. That’s why they must have all the best devices regarding accuracy and efficiency, within all applications. Internet is always a must and probably a tactical need. If you ever thought that the military take out in the wild, or wherever they might set camp along their operations, covert or not, those ordinary plastic-built Ethernet switches and such, then you are so wrong.
Just recently, Telco Systems announced the availability of two new Ethernet routing switches specially developed for military use, in the harshest environments, namely the T5R-24T and T5R-24GT. Both switches are MIL-STD-810F compliant and deliver wire speed, non-blocking Layer 2-4 switching at Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
Providing a maximum of 24 Ethernet connections, as well as four Gigabit fiber uplinks in a 1.4-inch enclosure, the T5R is designed for high-density IP services in space-constrained airborne and ground communication environments that do not leave room for issues. The switch can take IP connectivity for airborne and radar systems, signals intelligence, UAV data lines and mobile communications.
Also, based on Telco Systems carrier grade BiNOS networking software suite, this line of rugged switches provide a complete line of switching and routing protocols. A distinctive Fast Ring technology ensures the highest level of network reliability with recovery time of less than 50 ms. T5R-24GT-RUG offers 18 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet connections and four Gigabit fiber uplinks, while the T5R-24T-RUG supports 24 auto-sensing 10/100BaseT Ethernet connections, two Gigabit copper uplink and two Gigabit fiber uplinks.
Expansion slots are available for both models, allowing support for 54 ports on the T5R-24GT and 66 ports on the T5R-24T.
