Pixus Technologies has announced that their RX410 ruggedized NI (Ettus Research brand) USRP software defined radios (SDRs) have passed military qualification testing. 

The product family of Pixus ruggedized NI SDRs come in three styles: semi-rugged air cooled with superior front to rear cooling, IP67 weatherproof in a conduction-cooled format, and full MIL rugged.  The MIL rugged version has options for an internal heater and/or military grade fan that cools the external conduction-cooled fins in order to achieve extended temperature ranges. 

The RX410 went through several qualification tests, including MIL-STD-810 shock/vibration, humidity, temperature, altitude and explosive atmosphere tests.  The unit also passed the MIL-STD-461 tests for EMI.  The full line of Pixus MIL rugged SDRs share the same design approach. 

Pixus also offers the NI B210, N310, X310 and other SDRs in IP67 weatherproof and MIL rugged formations. The company also provides small form factor (SFF) customized designs per customer’s specifications as well as VITA standard architectures.
