Rugged Linux field computer acts as mission-critical video server
Harris Corp. announced a multimedia-enhanced PC designed for a variety of mission-critical military and public safety applications. The compact, ruggedized Falcon III RF-7800N-CP Mobile Computing Platform (MCP) runs Linux on a 1.86GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and features 4GB DDR3 RAM, a 160GB SSD, dual gigabit Ethernet ports, and numerous Fast Ethernet, serial, and USB connections expressed via avionics ports.
The Falcon III RF-7800N-CP MCP is designed to route and serve up video and other multimedia communications for network-enabled missions, says Harris. Suitable environments are said to include both military C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) operations and the public safety sector.
The ability of the MCP to function as a server, router, and multimedia gateway enables specific applications including remote video surveillance, multi-camera security and recording, and real-time situational awareness, says the defense IT integrator.
