Lockheed Martin Integrate Perle Fiber Media Converters
Perle Media Converters selected to provide copper to fiber conversion in a harsh Lockheed Martin Data Imagery application.
- (1888PressRelease) August 21, 2013 - Perle Systems, a global provider of advanced Ethernet over fiber and secure device networking solutions, reveals that Lockheed Martin chose Perle Fiber Media Converters to provide copper to fiber conversion in a harsh Data Imagery application.
"I knew that I needed a Media Converter and as soon as I realised that Perle was able to provide it, the choice was a no brainer," explained John Rumbles, Engineer at Lockheed Martin."I was extremely satisfied with the support I received from the Perle Team on other projects and knew I could get that same level of service again."
During a major system upgrade at over 70 customer sites, Lockheed Martin needed to deal with equipment subjected to a harsh industrial environment with high humidity and dust. They needed to move sensitive equipment away from the harsh conditions and into a Comms Room. At the same time it was decided to replace some components with a more robust alternative to increase the lifetime, safety and security of the equipment.
Although many specific details of the application are confidential, the new network design required a Media Converter to provide copper to fiber conversion for the network link.
Following a successful demo and test phase, 135 Perle Fiber Media Converters were successfully integrated into the customers system.
