Pixus Releases New MIL Rugged N310 Software Defined Radio With Extended Temperature Options

Pixus Technologies, a provider of embedded computing and chassis solutions, has announced a MIL Ruggedized NI software defined radio (SDR) with extended temperature options. Now a part of Emerson, the NI SDR is based on the family of Ettus brand Universal Software Radio Peripherals (USRPs). 

Pixus ruggedizes various versions of NI SDRs in IP67 outdoor and full MIL rugged qualified versions.  The new RN310 version has options for an external MIL grade fan that pulls air over the conduction-cooled fins on the enclosure as well as an internal heater board.  This allows the units to meet -40C to +71C applications.  

Pixus offers MIL rugged and commercial enclosure solutions in VITA based architectures such as OpenVPX, as well as specialty customized solutions like the rugged NI SDRs.   The company has also developed two-in-one dual USRP versions in a 1U format with superior front to rear cooling. .
