Key Features

• Embedded ARM CPU: An embedded Linux ARM CPU (see Specifications) for efficient hosting of GVA registry / alarms, TAK server data, and HUMS analytics, ensuring reliable performance and integration across systems.
• CAN to Ethernet (DDS) Bridge: Ensure full interoperability of CAN and DDS messages in accordance with GVA requirments.
• Open Standards: We align with the UK MoD Land Open Systems Architecture (LOSA) Generic Vehicle Architecture DEF-STAN 23-009 for land domain systems. Copper, fibre, connectors and power are standardised allowing greater interoperability and more flexibility with BushNET switches.
• Enterprise-Grade Performance: Powered by Cisco IOS XE, the BushNET delivers exceptional performance, ensuring smooth data transmission and network reliability.
• BushNET Essentials: Everything you need for Layer 2 switching and more with VLAN and NAT support choose BushNET Essentials.
• BushNET Advanced: Add Layer 3 IP routing capability with BushNET Advanced software as an optional upgrade.
• CISCO DNA: see a comparison of all features here.
• Rugged Design: Equipped with MIL-DTL-38999 military-grade connectors, BushNET is built to withstand harsh conditions, including extreme temperatures, vibrations, and shocks.
• Optimized for Mobility: Ideal for operations on the move, BushNET is tailored for integration into tracked vehicles and other mobile platforms, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity in dynamic environments.
• Compact and Versatile: Designed for space-constrained applications, BushNET offers a compact form factor without compromising on functionality or durability.
• Get streaming video fast: With our MediaX SDK get GVA compliant (DEF-STAN 00-082) video streams running over the network with IGMP Snooping enabled for efficient and seamless video distribution.
• Connect SAPIENT & TAK: Distribute Cursor on Target TAK messages or SAPIENT compliant AI sensors in real time over mesh networks with our Rust TAK SDK for Linux. Build TAK enabled applications in a flash.
