Military-Rated Gigabit Industrial Connectivity Features
MILITARY STRENGTH
With military equipment subject to harsh climates,
varying temperatures, shock and vibration,
defense requirements are mission critical.
Equipment has to be built to withstand extreme
stresses without sacrificing performance. Sixnet’s
IP67 Ethernet switches are designed to reliably
provide high-performance connectivity for the
harshest defense applications. Military rated
to support extreme defense conditions, our
products link in-vehicle communication systems
to support a host of military applications on the
land, in the air and on sea. These include land
vehicles, ground support facilities, missile delivery
systems, bombers, aircraft, UAVs and naval
vessels.
