CLOUDBERRYAERO CM-1600-FC4 SERIES
The CloudberryAERO CM-1600FC4 Series is an Industrial Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) 8 port (4 x 10/100/1000BASE-TX (RJ-45) and 4 x 10/100/1000BASE-X combo ports) Gigabit Ethernet switch with a built-in high time accuracy GPS receiver (optional) as time base for Grand Master Clock operation, according to the IEEE 1588 standard. The platform is optimized for System Integration Laboratory (SIL) and Industrial network systems applications and is available in a number of different versions.
Network Routers
Rugged
CLOUDBERRY CR-6900-MIL SERIES
The new Cloudberry CR-6900 Series is a commercial off the shelf (COTS), fully managed Layer 2/3 Ethernet switch with an embedded Cisco 5921 Embedded Services Router (ESR) IOS and network time server capability (IEEE 1588 PTP, NTP, IRIG, 1PPS), in an ultra-rugged housing. It is specifically designed to provide reliable, high-performance connectivity for extremely demanding size, weight and power (SWaP) constraints in harsh demanding environments (e.g. high altitude, extreme shock & vibration, extended temperatures, humidity, dust & water exposure, noisy EMI, dirty power).
Industrial-Managed
CLOUDBERRY MIL CR-1006 SERIES
The CloudberryMIL CR-1000 series consists of Ethernet routers with a wide range of routing and redundancy protocols. The router functionality is based on a well proven Linux router package that includes Stateful firewall, routing protocols, QoS, High Availability and a variety of VPN and tunneling options. The routers in the CR-1000 series offer full management based on HTTP, telnet, ssh, serial console CLI or SNMP.
Application Highlights
Ground Combat Vehicles
The CM-4012-F0-MIL Gigabit Ethernet Switch is specifically designed to operate reliably in the harsh, noisy and electrically demanding environments of ground combat vehicle applications, such as under extreme shock and vibration, in wide temperatures, humidity, with dust and water exposure, noisy EMI, and dirty power.
Our rugged, modular, fully managed product was selected by General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada for use in the Canadian Armoured Combat Support Vehicle (ACSV) which reinforces our commitment to providing advanced time synchronization solutions for high-speed military ground vehicle Vetronics and C5ISR applications.
Test Flight Aircraft
Our fully rugged CM-6200 and CM-4000 series easily communicates with any Data Acquisition System, allowing you to choose the best products for the application at hand, and not just what comes with an all–in–one solution. Used in flight test, the platform provides a powerful set of networking features optimized for both aircraft and military systems applications, including 1G and 10G copper ports, Grandmaster Clock support, support for IPv4 multicast traffic filtering according to static filters or IGMP snooping, Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs), port control (speed / mode / statistics, flow control), Quality of Service (QoS) traffic prioritization, Link Aggregation (802.3ad), SNMPv/1/v2/v3 management, secure authentication (802.1X, ACLs, Web/CLI), redundancy (RSTP/MSTP) and port mirroring. To enhance reliability, the unit features military temperature grade components, an isolated power supply that protects against voltage surges, spikes and transients and no moving parts.
Airborne ISR Mission Aircraft
The CR-6228 28-Port GbE/10GbE Switch and Router is specifically designed to provide core capabilities for the secure and highly interoperable digital network systems in the aerospace and defense industries. The modular, rugged design supports high-performance connectivity in harsh environments with size, weight and power (SWaP) constraints, such as high altitude, extreme shock and vibration, extended temperatures, humidity, dust and water exposure, noisy EMI, and dirty power, enabling secure managed network routing and GbE switching capabilities for onboard communications and computing subsystems.
After extensive testing, our ultra-rugged airborne switch and router was selected by Airbus for their A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) mission network system. Achieving high-speed 10GbE copper connectivity onboard mission aircraft can dramatically enhance vehicle communication, networking, and sensor integration for mission capability and critical decision-making. The CR-6228 helps the MRTT platform improve situational awareness and network-centric operations for demanding applications in Command, Control, Communications Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) and Search and Rescue (SAR) missions.
