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 ithout
sacri cing 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.
