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 conjunction with Rockwell Collins, Cornet Switching Systems Ltd installed seven MTX-L digital matrix switches (DMS) throughout the United Kingdom and in British Territories overseas. The DMS is used at two Network Control sites and five HF stations to switch a variety of low and high speed digital and analog voice frequency signals and will support switching of simplex, half duplex and full duplex, voice and data communication circuits.
The Cornet MTX-L single-stage, non-blocked, crosspoint architecture incorporated the latest developments in switching technology to provide reliability, availability and fault tolerance as required by Rockwell Collins and their customer. System availability assurance is one of the MTX-L’s many design strengths with no single point of failure.
Product Portfolio
Matrix Switch
The MTX Series of Matrix Switches brings the latest developments in switching technology to the Cornet line of products.
Cornet provides a complete range of video convergence products meeting the needs of miltary, transportation and commercial customers. Products include a range of encoders and decoders as well as VDOLink management softare and Analogue Video Matrix Switches.
However reliable a piece of network equipment is, there is always a chance that something will fail. When continuous network equipment uptime is an absolute necessity, Cornet Switching Systems' Router Protection Switch (RPS-24) provides that extra bit of security.
The Cornet Switching Systems Intelligent Protection Switches (IPS) are high bit-rate, high-bandwidth, electromechanical, 32 channel digital, analog and optical fibre A/B and A/B/C switches.
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.
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.
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.
The Cornet Switching Systems Intelligent Protection Switches (IPS) are high bit-rate, high-bandwidth, electromechanical, 16 channel digital, analog and optical fibre A/B and A/B/C switches.
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.
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.
