Pixus Technologies has announced a new rack-mountable 1U tall enclosure that holds two of NI’s Ettus Research brand X310 software-defined radios (SDRs). The new 1U unit boasts superior cooling with front-to-rear airflow.
The air-cooled RX310 meets Transport Grade ruggedization for military rackmount applications. The semi-rugged enclosure features a thicker and reinforced metal structure. With a front-to-rear airflow orientation, the inside of the unit was carefully designed to cool any potential hot spots in the system.
With IP67 weather-resistant and full military rugged design styles available, the RX310 series can be used in various types of airborne, shipboard, ground vehicle or outdoor designs. Example applications include signals intelligence passive radar, smart agriculture, smart energy and prototyping systems for advanced wireless (Wi-Fi/Cell/MIMO). Pole-mount and other special mounting options are available.
Pixus also offers other ruggedized SDRs from NI, including the X410, B210, N310 and more. The company also develops specialty form factor ruggedized enclosures upon request.
