The new Cloudberry CR-6200 series is a commercial-off-the-shelf, fully managed layer 2/3 Ethernet switch with an embedded Cisco 5921 embedded services router (ESR) IOS and network time server capability (IEEE 1588 PTP, NTP, IRIG, 1PPS), in an ultra-rugged housing. It is specifically designed to provide reliable, high-performance connectivity for extremely demanding size, weight and power constraints in harsh demanding environments (e.g. high altitude, extreme shock and vibration, extended temperatures, humidity, dust and water exposure, noisy EMI, dirty power).

The CR-6200 is an ideal solution for forward-fit and retrofit applications. It provides a technology advantage for deploying data, video and voice services virtually anywhere LAN/WAN connectivity may be required, especially in mobile, airborne, ground, manned or unmanned vehicle and sensor applications.

With routing speeds of up to 200 megabytes per second for the Cisco 5921 ESR package or full wire speeds for OnTime Networks’ own router package, the unit offers a powerful network solution.

With up to 24-gigabit Ethernet and four 10-gigabit Ethernet ports, the CR-6200 provides a robust network routing architecture with the performance, security, quality of service, high availability and manageability that customers expect from Cisco IOS-based technologies. The familiar Cisco IOS router software and the Cisco-like CLI interface on the switch management side minimize training requirements and provide extensive support for IPv4/IPv6 routing protocols, IP multicasting, radio aware routing (RAR), dynamic link exchange protocol, remote VoIP, firewall/IPS/IDS, mobile ad hoc networking (MANET) and mobile IP routing for connectivity in comms on the move applications.

Its modular rugged design, enclosed in a completely sealed housing against dust and water ingress (IP68), requires no active cooling and provides a number of connector options (ceelok FAS-T, MIL-DTL-38999, MightyMouse). The unit features a military-grade power supply for aircraft (MIL-STD-704F) and ground (MIL-STD-1275D) vehicle use, as well as MIL-STD-461F EMI/EMC filtering.

“The new CloudberryMIL CR-6200 series high-performance switch/router platform has been designed from the ground up to perform in the harshest environments providing reliable connectivity for land, air and sea platforms,” said Markus Schmitz, managing director of OnTime Networks in the U.S. “The CR-6200 MIL series delivers either the Cisco 5921 ESR IOS or OnTime Networks router package with up to 24 1gigabit Ethernet ports and four 10 gigabit Ethernet ports. Therefore, the CR-6200 provides the right mix of performance and scalability to meet the requirements of today’s aerospace and defense platforms.

“In addition to the routing and switching capabilities, the CM-6200 is a high performance network time server with both IEEE1588-2002/2008 and NTP support,” said Pål-Jørgen Kyllesø, CTO of OnTime Networks.
