Juniper Networks has launched LN1000, an 8 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) port, ruggedised blade router that provides radio router protocol support with hardware based queuing and an integrated intrusion detection and prevention system.
The company said that the new mobile secure router is compliant with both the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols and run on Juniper Networks Junos operating system. It is designed for being embedded in mobile network and sensor applications such as military platforms, first responder and public safety vehicles, the smart grid, vehicular transportation systems, and various oil/gas/mining exploration and energy/utility applications.
According to Juniper, the LN1000 delivers single-OS stability, interoperability and scalability; and supports SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) specifications. With conduction cooling requiring no external power, the LN1000 can be deployed with minimal impact to existing platforms.
Packaged at 4 x 6 x .85 inches VPX form factor, consuming less than 35 watts of power and weighing less than 1.5 pounds, the LN1000 is usable in environments ranging from 40C to +85C, the company said.
Craig Bardenheuer, vice president of infrastructure products group for partner engineering and integration team at Juniper Networks, said: The customers we have approached in military, first responder, transportation and smart grid vertical markets are expressing keen interest in a high-performance, mobile routing solution that delivers unmatched throughput and queuing support while also providing intrusion prevention and resilient networking in harsh field environments.”
