XPand6000 Series systems are based on convection-cooled and conduction-cooled, fully-ruggedized Small Form Factor (SFF) chassis designed and tested to meet the rigorous standards of MIL-STD-810 while integrating the latest power-saving, performance-enhancing, and space-efficient COTS technology. Its small size, availability in horizontal and vertical orientations, and use of COTS components enables the XPand6000 Series to be deployed quickly into a wide variety of airborne and ground vehicle applications.

XPand6000 Series systems support an internal carrier card that can be populated with a high-performance ruggedized Freescale QorIQ or Intel® Core i7 processor-based COM Express module, a PMC or XMC module, an SSD, and it can be customized to support application-specific circuitry such as additional I/O or an FPGA. X-ES has an extensive lineup of PMC and XMC solutions to fulfill your data-processing and I/O requirements. Additionally, X-ES provides integration services for third-party ruggedized COM Express or PMC/XMC modules.

An optional Slim SATA SSD memory module (with optional integrated encryption) provides the convenience of high-capacity off-the-shelf storage, the ruggedness of solid-state non-volatile memory, and the security of 256-bit AES encryption. X-ES maximizes power supply performance per cubic inch, supporting an integrated MIL-STD-704 28 VDC power supply and MIL-STD-461 EMI filtering. Internal holdup can be provided, as well.

The XPand6102 is a Small Form Factor (SFF) system that features an XPedite5205, which runs Cisco IOS® Software with Cisco Mobile Ready Net capabilities, and an XPedite7450 for general processing. The combination of XPedite5205 and XPedite7450 provides a high-performance router with plenty of computing power for any application. The XPand6102 can be utilized as a development platform or a deployed system.

The XPedite5205 uses the same Cisco IOS® that IT staffs in the military, energy, public safety, and other industries are already trained on, enabling these organizations to expand their network to personnel, equipment, facilities, and vehicles at the edge of the network – warfighters on the battlefield, mines and drilling platforms, natural disaster mobile command centers – without any additional training. The XPand6102 can be connected to UHF, VHF, Wi-Fi, and other IP-based radio platforms to create the network nodes used to form mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). With the ability to operate without a connection to central infrastructure, MANETs offer many advantages for military, public safety, and emergency response users. The XPedite5205 extends the Cisco enterprise infrastructure beyond the reach of traditional fixed-network infrastructure for oil and gas, mining, smart grid, heavy construction, transportation, homeland security, and public safety applications.

The router offers high performance, four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, and a rich Cisco IOS Software feature set for the most Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP)-constrained applications. To meet the needs of demanding mobile and embedded networking applications, the XPand6102 provides hardware encryption, radio aware routing (RAR) with support for the latest Dynamic Link Exchange Protocol (DLEP), support for IPv6, integrated threat control with integrated Cisco IOS firewalls and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), and Quality of Service (QoS).

The XPedite5205 is packaged in a natural-convection-cooled horizontal enclosure with four commercial RJ-45 connectors. For rugged applications, the system can be packaged in an XPand6000 Series enclosure with D38999 circular connectors.

The XPand1400 Series COM Express Development Platform targets the X-ES Small Form Factor (SFF) XPand6000 Series and other COM Express applications to enable early development and rapid prototyping. It provides a convenient desktop setup with standard I/O connectors. The XPand1400 Series includes all of the functionality of the XPand6000 Series, including support for a COM Express module, a PMC or XMC, and an SSD. With the XPand1400 Series, the transition from development to the target XPand6000 Series system or custom COM Express carrier card is made easy.

The XPand1400 Series provides basic COM Express I/O via fixed connectors, which are accessible through the back panel of its ATX chassis. Additionally, it provides a COM Express I/O Module (CIM) site for access to I/O not available at the fixed connectors. Simply removing the ATX case cover gives access to internal fixed I/O and PIM/XIM I/O.

An integrated fan located below the PMC/XMC site provides ample airflow for the most powerful modules.
