It is common for NATO and many UK Government organisations to have similar installations of Cornet MTX 256 and MTX-L Matrix switching equipment. The first line maintenance of the equipment has traditionally been contracted out to Prime Contractors under the UK Government’s current policy on outsourcing and PFI initiatives or managed by armed forces services personnel.
EADS Defense & Security Systems approached Cornet Switching Systems to provide the Baseband Switching requirements at UK Satellite Ground Stations (SGSs) as part of the modernisation of the UK Governments communications facilities.
Cornet Switching Systems Ltd was selected by Rockwell Collins to provide Digital Matrix Switches for the modernisation of the UK Ministry of Defence’s high-frequency service communications (DHFCS).
In the MTX-256, Cornet Switching Systems combines unparalleled interface and speed support with a space efficiency no other matrix switch system can rival. With its compact switching engine, the MTX-256 requires only one standard equipment rack to support 2048 ports. A fully expanded system occupies half the engine space of a traditional matrix switch.
MTX-1 is a 16-port, and the MTX-2 a 32-port high-speed, non-blocking, digital matrix switch that packs the same functionality of larger MTX series systems into a compact, space-saving chassis.
The MTX-R BTS is a ruggedized non-blocking, high-speed digital matrix switch designed for shipboard applications. The Switch allows the interconnection of 512 digital or Wideband (25 kHz) analogue ports, and performs automated switching and control of clear and encrypted signals between modems, encryption devices, radio transmitters and receivers.
Cornet offers a range of video encoders and decoders, from software, to rackmounted hardware through to fully ruggedised field units. Our systems support a range of MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and H.264 codecs.
For efficient cable reduction and error-free operation consider the Cornet Switching Systems Port Concentrator Unit (PCU) that functions as either a matrix interface or a cable concentrator.
Cornet Technology Automated Secure Voice Switching products are designed to provide trusted voice and data switching systems for military airborne, ground-based and shipboard applications.
Many applications and networks are moving rapidly to IP, but the cost and business continuity implications do not always make this move easy. Cornet Switching Systems’ IPGate can securely and reliably negate these problems.
Cornet's MTX Matrix Switches have always provided the widest range of physical layer switch capabilities supported by the most advanced standards-based switching technology. They support voice, video and digital data at speeds up to OC12.
A multiservice access concentrator, the IPGate 1000-16 can reliably and securely transport legacy TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) and other circuit-based applications across converged IP networks. The IPGate 1000-16 provides the capacity to support a wide variety of analogue or digital interfaces at configurable rates from 75bps to 2.048 Mbps.
The IMS 16 and 32 are relay-based, microprocessor-controlled devices that provide monitor and test access to a wide variety of interfaces, including DS-1, EIA-232, V.35, EIA-530, telephone, etc. in a single chassis.
