Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM MX5000 is a MIL-STD, high-port density routing and switching
platform, designed to operate in the most demanding environments.The
RUGGEDCOM MX5000 can withstand high levels of electromagnetic interference,
radio frequency interference, and a wide temperature range of -40 to 85 °C (-40 to
185 °F). The RUGGEDCOM MX5000 is designed to meet the challenging climatic
and environmental demands found in utility, industrial, and military network
applications.
The RUGGEDCOM MX5000 's superior hardware design, coupled with the embedded
RUGGEDCOM MX5000 operating system, provides improved system reliability for the
most demanding network applications. The cyber security and networking features
make it ideally suited for creating secure Ethernet networks for mission critical, real-
time, control applications.
The RUGGEDCOM MX5000 is a scalable, modular platform providing the ability to
change the configuration as the network grows and needs change.
