Waterloo, Ontario — Nov 6, 2023– Pixus Technologies, a provider of embedded computing and enclosure solutions, has announced a new rackmountable 1U tall enclosure that holds two of NI’s Ettus Research brand X310 Software Defined Radios (SDRs). The new 1U unit boasts superior cooling with front-to-rear airflow.
The air-cooled RX310 meets Transport Grade ruggedization for military rackmount applications. The semi-rugged enclosure features a thicker and reinforced metal structure. With a front-to-rear airflow orientation, the inside of the unit was carefully designed to cool any potential hot spots in the system. Â
With IP67 weather-resistant and full MIL rugged design styles available, the RX310 series can be used in various types of airborne, shipboard, ground vehicle, or outdoor designs.  Example applications include SIG-INT, passive RADAR, smart agriculture, smart energy, and prototyping systems for advanced wireless (WiFi/Cell/MIMO).  Pole-mount and other special mounting options are available. Â
Pixus also offers other ruggedized SDRs from NI, including the X410, B210, N310 and more. The company also develops specialty form factor ruggedized enclosures upon request. Â
