BotBlox

The unmanned systems landscape is evolving quickly. This week's UST eBrief covers Nokia for industries and Motorola Solutions' partnership to launch an AI-enhanced turnkey automated drone-in-a-box solution, computer vision-based navigation for Red Cat Holdings' Black Widow sUAS, and the development by BotBlox of a USB-to-Ethernet converter compact enough to integrate with Trillium Engineering's systems. Plus Alva Industries and Lockheed Martin will develop new technologies to advance sUAS optimization, and PteroDynamics Inc. and Babcock Australia & New Zealand to explore new opportunities for autonomous UAS.

Meet SwitchBlox Industrial: our ultra-compact, managed network switch—now tested and proven at 600 bar (8,702 PSI) of pressure, equivalent to depths of around 6,000 meters underwater. Our recent trials confirm that SwitchBlox Industrial operates seamlessly even under extreme conditions, bringing reliable, intelligent networking solutions to the deepest depths of the ocean. Stay tuned as we publish the full test results.

BotBlox has developed a USB-to-Ethernet converter compact enough to integrate into Trillium Engineering’s systems while maintaining durability in extreme conditions >> 🔗 https://hubs.la/Q02_HJx00 🤝 When Trillium Engineering, a leader in actionable imagery solutions for small tactical unmanned aerial systems (sUAS), sought to solve a critical reliability issue, they turned to BotBlox. This collaboration gave rise to USBBlox, a miniature, rugged USB-to-Ethernet converter purpose-built for drones, robots, and other mission-critical systems operating in challenging environments.  👏 ➡️ Visit the Unmanned Systems Technology website for further information.

Puck Maxi. 78mm x 78mm x 30mm. 8 x 1GBASE-T ports and 3 10G SFP ports. Fully managable for VLAN and port control. Vibration tolerant connectors and SFP fixing clamp (Vibration tolerant SFP design, coming soon). Super Rugged and Super Compact. (Banana for scale)

🌐 High tolerance to vibration is a necessity for any hardware designed for use on mobile platforms like drones and ground vehicles. Our Puck Mini, an ultra compact (45.4 x 45.4 x 25 mm) network switch, recently underwent a rigorous vibration test: 1 hour per axis, ranging from 15Hz to 500Hz at an intense 100G. This wasn’t an easy test by any measure – but Puck Mini passed with flying colors. During the test, Puck Mini showed no loosening of connectors, no loss of function, and maintained complete operational integrity. This level of testing helps ensure our hardware is proven to withstand the demands applications on mobile platforms. From drones to other dynamic environments, we’re proud to deliver reliability and resilience where it counts. #drone #networking #vibrationtesting #producttesting #PuckMini #BotBlox #engineering #MILSTD810 #ethernet
