IQ-Core™ Case

Industry-leading ruggedness, intelligence, and remote management in a portable case

The PacStar IQ-Core Case extends the life of electronic devices, reduces maintenance requirements, and lowers network management complexity for mobile communications systems.

Tray system provides reliability, cooling, and accessibility

The IQ-Core Case is a modularized and ruggedized portable rack structure that consists of a fan-cooled and air-filtered housing with pull-out trays. These trays offer a custom slide-rail structure, common monitoring, power and network cable interconnects at the rear, and universal network connections at the front. The rugged case housing and tray structure are designed to meet Military Standard 810F requirements for transportation, vibration, shock, and temperature. The tray system incorporates a patent-pending, high-velocity cooling system that extends equipment operating parameters and lifetime.

Intelligent case improves reliability, ruggedness, and ease-of-use

The IQ-Core Case includes embedded microcontrollers that monitor internal temperatures, allow remote presence (AC power reset, console port access), provide visual and auditory alerts, and provide an easy-to-use menu system for common operations.

Each case holds basic knowledge of the contained devices, and allows viewing of this information through the built-in menu system on the bottom tray.

Case communication is accomplished through a simple web services API available from PacStar. All case features are accessible through this interface, including the ability to modify the case menu system for application-specific functionality.
