Ruggedized USRP Software-Defined Radios from Pixus Now Certified for Military Applications

Pixus Technologies, a provider of embedded computing and enclosure solutions, has announced that their RX410 ruggedized NI (Ettus Research brand) USRP Software Defined Radio (SDR) enclosures have passed the MIL qualification testing.

The product family of Pixus ruggedized NI SDRs are available in three styles: semi-rugged air-cooled with superior front-to-rear cooling, IP67 weatherproof in a conduction-cooled format, and full MIL rugged. The MIL rugged version has options for an internal heater and/or military-grade fan that cools the external conduction-cooled fins in order to achieve extended temperature ranges.

The RX410 went through several qualification tests, including MIL-STD-810 shock/vibration, humidity, temperature, altitude, and explosive atmosphere tests. The unit also passed the MIL-STD-461 tests for EMI. Additionally, the full line of Pixus MIL rugged SDRs share the same design approach.

Pixus also offers the NI B210, N310, X310, and other SDRs in IP67 weatherproof and MIL rugged formations. Customers can opt for customizable designs in small form factor (SFF) according to the said specifications as well as other VITA standard architectures.
