The RT0402 Stingray is intended for military/defense/aerospace deployed computer networks. With the onboard 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, Stingray is an ideal forwardly-deployed vehicle-mounted battlefield dual-server that offers the greatest Size, Power and Weight Efficiency (SWaP-E), while offering the most amount of flexibility in the same dense form factor. Stingray can also be used in Internet-of-Things, industrial and commercial platforms where PoE, TOE, and intelligent local routing is needed. It can be mounted virtually anywhere—including on telephone poles and powered by solar panels to form an Internet-of-Things Intelligent Gateway. The RT0402 is fully compliant to MIL-STD-810G, MIL-STD-1275D, MIL-S-901D, DO-160D, MIL-STD-461E and has ingress protection up to IP66.
Stingray utilizes two types of independent hardware technology to provide both routing and managed switch functions.
To enable routing functionality, RT0402 employs the most efficient Quad Core Atom™ processor from Intel®. The Intel® Atom™ Bay Trail CPU is a third-generation Atom™ processor with a fully integrated memory controller, 2MB of L2 cache operating at 1.91GHz and deep sleep capabilities for ultra-low power consumption when not active. The CPU is coupled with 4GB of 1333MHz DDR3 RAM with Error Correcting Code (ECC) and the Atom™ processor hosts the Cisco® ESR 5921 routing software and interfaces to the VSC7434 switch externally via a user-connected Ethernet connection.
For the RT0402, Stingray leverages Microsemi’s VSC7434 E-StaX-III-48 next-generation Enterprise Ethernet switch, Stingray utilizes 12-ports 10/100/1000 Mbps (four with PoE+) and two ports of 10G XAUI. The XAUI ports can also be configured as two 12Gbps stacking ports. This technology is supported via a 416MHz MIPS processor with 128MB of DDR2 memory for large frame buffering and 16MB of flash NVRAM for system configuration of the managed switch. In addition, the VSC7434 has very low latency, less than 100ms failover, and multistage Versatile Content Aware Processing (VCAP), which delivers VLAN and QoS processing, enabling the delivery of differentiated services, security through intelligent frame processing, and egress frame manipulation.
Router Functions and Specifications
ESR 5921 software router is used to implement Cisco’s Mobile Ready Net, a loosely-coupled ad hoc network designed to be self-forming and self-healing as nodes appear and disappear. IP multiplexing minimizes redundant packets to maximize available bandwidth, while radio-aware routing moves packets based upon link conditions. There are up to 32 VLANs supported per router, with IPv4/IPv6 packets and a Cisco® iOS Zone-based firewall. Routing protocols include: RIP v1 and v2, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, Cisco® Discovery Protocol, IP Policy and Multicast Protocol Independent Multicast (IGMP) v1, v2, v3, and Cisco® Group Management Protocol. Security protocols include IPSec, SSL/TLS, SRTP, 3DES, AES and IKE. Voice, video and data packets are supported, and address conservation includes NAT (Many-to-One and Many-to-Many), DHCP and Easy IP Phase 1. ESR 5921 is optimized to run on the Intel® Atom™ on Linux with a small memory footprint.
The Stingray router/switch is equipped with GMS’s patent-pending RuggedCool℠ technology, the industry’s most unique conduction cooling system promising system operation over -40°C to +85°C. RuggedCool℠ provides the lowest thermal resistance to the case, keeping the CPU within temperature limits at full load, while still providing the highest shock specifications known in the industry. The RT0402 is a stand-alone, fan-less system and should be mounted directly to a metal cold plate surface that provides a reliable conductive thermal path.
The Stingray is available in ruggedization levels R1-R5. Additional information regarding the ruggedization levels and full environmental specifications for this product can be found on our website at www.gms4sbc.com/technologies/ruggedization.
