Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RUGGEDCOM RX5000 is a high-port density routing and switching platform, designed
to operate in harsh environments.The RUGGEDCOM RX5000 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 RX5000 is designed to meet the challenging climatic and environmental demands found in utility,
industrial, and military network applications.
The RUGGEDCOM RX5000's superior hardware design, coupled with the embedded RUGGEDCOM RX5000
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 RX5000 is a scalable, modular platform providing the ability to change the configuration as the
network grows and needs change.
