Brainboxes Pure Embedded Ethernet Switches
Brainboxes Pure Embedded Ethernet Switches are compact, lightweight, and high-performance embedded Ethernet switches that transmit data more reliably, in real-time, while significantly minimizing impact on payload weights and sizes. These Ethernet switches feature an exceptionally compact and lightweight design, which is crucial for weather balloon payloads, with strict space and weight limitations. Measuring just 55mm x 55mm x 10mm (smaller than a standard business card), these embedded Ethernet switches are the perfect solution for applications where every millimeter of space and every ounce of weight matter, allowing maximized use of limited payload space, and enabling the inclusion of additional scientific instruments without compromising on networking capabilities.
Despite the devices' small size, Brainboxes Pure Embedded Ethernet switches are expertly engineered to withstand extreme conditions, operating reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C. This durability is essential for weather balloon missions, which expose equipment to harsh environmental conditions including rapid temperature changes and high-altitude pressures. Pure Embedded Ethernet switches fill a crucial gap in the market between traditional embedded boards and chips, offering a cost-effective solution that does not compromise performance. This solution is particularly valuable in weather balloon applications, where budget constraints often compete with the need for high-quality data collection.
