MPL’s Innovative Design for Rugged Embedded Xeon Server wins Gold

The MXCS-15xxML (MXCS Family) was recognized among the best by the 2021 Military & Aerospace Electronics Innovators Awards. An esteemed and experienced panel of judges from the aerospace and defense community recognized MPL AG as a Gold honoree.

Rugged MIL/COTS SWaP-C Server conductive cooled, with Intel Xeon CPUs

The MIL/COTS SWaP-C Server Solution was designed with the target to meet the MIL-STD-810 as well as parts of the DO-160 standards. The unique solution is installed in a compact IP67 housing with a total of eight D-38999 connectors, including a dual fiber optical 10Gbit LAN port. The market does not provide server solution that are rugged, come without the need of a fan, and can be operated at -20°C up to 60°C. In addition, MPL’s engineering team focused to eliminate as much as possible of the wires, to provide a the long-term reliability of the product.

Solution
The presented embedded server solution is unique, fanless and available in various versions. A customer can chose from various soldered CPUs with up to 16 cores out of the Intel road-map with long-term availability. Decades of experience from MPL (since 1985) in developing and producing extremely robust embedded solutions, have made the MXCS Server Family possible. With the size optimized board, SWaP-C can be achieved.

Customization is MPL’s strength! Several different CPUs for the MXCS Family are available and can be chosen from. Fit, Form and Function (FFF) of the MXCS solutions and the unmatched reliability are key arguments. Shock and vibration as well as extended temperatures complete the unique design to provide a real rugged and long-term available product.

The QUANTUM Team congratulates the Award!
