MiniROS is a fully developed, in-service product
that delivers the following functionality:
• Video surveillance platform
• Remote sensor platform
• Remote targeting device platform
• Unattended sensor system
• Remote triggering system
• Programmable automation
The CRM is the intelligent heart of the miniROS
enabling the remote control of sensors, targeting
devices and actuators, capable of:
• four video inputs
• four serial device ports
• four input triggers
• four output relays
• pan, tilt, zoom, focus and iris
• very low power consumption
• manage four independent power sources
• multiple bearer options
The HCM is the primary interface for
directing actions of devices controlled
by the CRM
The MCS – MiniROS Control Software
is an advanced control, display, and
device management program running
on a PocketPC or PC
The miniROS utilises a variety of
bearers to provide a communications
and video link to the operator,
including:
• microwave radio
• mesh network IP radio
• BGAN and other satellite systems
• 3G and 4G
• 2-wire copper
• Wi-Fi
The Field Ethernet System (FES)
provides rugged, durable and reliable
networking devices in a small modular
form.
FES delivers high speed and flexible
field networks and is ideal for military
Deployable Local Area Networks
(DLAN)
The FES-MAR is a Mobile Access Router,
providing:
• Cisco IOS with Call Manager & IPSec
• smallest form factor available
• tough and lightweight
• AVI power management
• BA-5590 or BB-2590 compatible
• generic RJ-45 connectivity
• environmentally sealed
• conductive cooling
The FES-MG-4E4F is a rugged,
managed, 10/100/1000 Base
T(X), auto negotiation Ethernet and
fibre switch
The FES-G-8E is a rugged, 8 port, unmanaged, 10/100/1000 Base T(X),
auto negotiation Ethernet switch
Both are designed for harsh
environmental and mission critical
military applications
The FE-POE is a rugged, single
port, 10/100BaseT(X), midspan
PoE device designed to power a
PoE device on a non-PoE
network
Development
AVI is working closely with Cisco to develop further FES
products as Cisco technology becomes available. This is
achieved by parallel development during Cisco’s product
migration process.
Currently developing:
• next generation rugged small form factor Cisco router
• rugged small form factor Cisco layer 2 & 3 switches
