The Pixus Technologies RX310 is a ruggedized version of National Instruments (NI) – under the Ettus Research brand, an NI company – X310 software-defined radio. The redesigned commercial version of the product creates a hardened, sealed, conduction-cooled unit to meet MIL-STD and IP67 specifications.

The NI hardware architecture combines two extended bandwidth daughterboard slots covering DC – 6 GHz with up to 120 MHz of baseband bandwidth, multiple high-speed interface options (that include PCIe, Dual 1/10 GiGE), and a large user-programmable Kintex-7 field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The RX310 series was developed to be used in various airborne, shipboard, ground vehicle, or outdoor designs such as signal intelligence (SIGINT), passive radar, and prototyping systems for advanced wireless applications such as WiFi/cell/MIMO.
