SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$usarmy #AustralianArmy--Spectranetix, Inc., a Pacific Defense company, is proud to announce deliveries of their industry-first 3U OpenVPX Ruggedized Chassis to the US Army, Canadian MOD and US Prime Contractors. The SX-920 series Ruggedized Chassis are 40/100 Gb Ethernet capable and aligned with the U.S. Army�s C5ISR Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) and The Open Group�s Sensor Open Systems Architecture� (SOSA) technical standard.

The SX-920 Series Front Load chassis can be built in a range of slot profile configurations. Three standard configurations include a 7 -Slot small profile chassis (depicted to the right), and 11 or 13 slot 19-inch Rack Mount formfactors with 4, 6 and 8 payload slots, respectively. Spectranetix chassis are ideal for multi-function RF missions in ground mobile, shipboard and airborne systems and are currently being used by the US Army for Electronic Warfare and Communications. Being CMOSS/SOSA�-aligned means users can easily insert CMOSS/SOSA hardware products from a rapidly growing ecosystem, regardless of manufacturer.

The 7-Slot Small Profile chassis was specifically designed to provide maximum flexibility in available mounting locations in current US Army vehicles while providing 4 payload slots, 1 reference and timing slot, 1 network switch slot and 1 power supply slot. The larger 11- and 13- slot chassis are ideal for larger complex systems requiring more payload slots and multifunction system platforms.

�With 100Gb Ethernet and a proven ability to produce a range of chassis configurations, our chassis products are leading the market in terms of performance and mission adaptability,� said Bret Banfield, VP and GM of Spectranetix. �Our customers� missions demand the highest levels of performance and flexibility.�

Spectranetix is a leader in high-performance CMOSS/SOSA product development with a robust pipeline of products, including the SX-430 and SX-433 Software Defined Radios, SX-330 Single Board Computer, and SX-310 Digital Signal Processor that are currently being fielded. Soon to be released later this year will be the SX-124 Precision Navigation and Timing and SX-153 Dual Domain Network 40/100 Gbe Switch Cards.
