MilSource: Techaya Selected to Provide Rugged Ethernet Switch for Electronic Warfare Pod
(PRWEB) March 06, 2018 -- MilSource, the exclusive US distributor of Techaya's compact, ruggedized switching and routing solutions, today announced that a major defense contractor selected Techaya to provide a modified commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) ultra-compact Ethernet switch for an aircraft-mounted electronic warfare pod.
Techaya will provide a customized, eight-port unmanaged Fast Ethernet switch to connect and manage traffic between sensors and compute resources that will adhere to the contractor's need for an ultra-compact switch that stands up to reliability standards in harsh environmental conditions.
"The size, weight, and power consumption (SWAP) and reliability of the Techaya line of ruggedized Ethernet switches has made them a popular choice for electronic warfare pods throughout the defense industry," said Ronen Isaac, general manager for MilSource. "This particular vendor came to Techaya because there was very limited space to include a switch in the pod's footprint. We were able to make some small modifications and fit where no other MIL SPEC Ethernet switch on the market could."
Based on the MILTECH 308, the custom switch measures 82.2 mm x 64.1 mm x 25.9 mm and weighs 130 grams. It is MIL STD 810F/G/M and 461E compliant while all ingress points meet IP68 rating.
