GE Intelligent Platforms RTR8GE rugged router

The RTR8GE router from GE Intelligent Platforms features a small footprint, low weight and low power and enables communications on the move. It is suitable for harsh environments where security of data is paramount.

The commercial off-the-shelf device features a field-tested Junos operating system for juniper networks. Firewall, intrusion prevention and detection and extensive quality of service capabilities enable secure IPv4/IPv6 connectivity for military vehicles, aircraft and forward operating base, supporting net-centric operations as well as other applications such as industrial automation and oil and gas in harsh environments.

The router has eight GbE ports integrated in a SWap-optimised enclosure that meets the environmental requirements of military/aerospace applications.

The router supports radio-aware router protocols that monitor network efficiency and available bandwidth and regulate traffic flow, choosing the most efficient network route in mobile, ad-hoc battlefield network environments.

It also includes anti-tamper protection and information assurance technologies in recognition of the sensitive nature of the data it is designed to transport.

With its integrated firewall and intrusion detection system, the device ensures that the network is always up and securely running by denying malicious threats and unauthorised access or control. Additional capabilities include denial of service, VPN, user authentication and access control, network address translation and quality of service (QoS).

MIL-D38999 series 3 connectors are featured for the ethernet ports, serial connection and power.
