RuggON has launched the SVA 500, a 5-inch rugged Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) terminal designed to provide reliable voice communications across mission-critical and demanding operational environments.
Combining IP voice communication, Power over Ethernet (PoE), an Android platform, and a ruggedized enclosure, the SVA 500 is suited to applications including satellite communications, unmanned ground control stations (GCS), maritime operations, transportation infrastructure, and remote field deployments.
At the core of the SVA 500 is an i.MX8M Nano quad-core processor running Android 11, with Board Support Package (BSP) software integration and support for customized development. This allows system integrators and operators to deploy specialized communication, management, or other mission-specific applications on the terminal, providing flexibility for different operational requirements.
The SVA 500 features a 5-inch touchscreen with a 720×1280 resolution and 500-nit brightness, supporting visibility in outdoor environments and direct sunlight. A dedicated push-to-talk (PTT) button, earpiece, and hands-free speaker delivering up to 85 dB SPL at 50 cm provide multiple options for voice communications in field environments.
Power and data can be delivered through a single Ethernet connection using IEEE 802.3at PoE, with the system incorporating a 10/100/1000 RJ45 LAN port. A supplied 6-foot coiled Ethernet cable with tensile strain relief at the handset end further supports flexible installation and rapid deployment.
Designed for operation in harsh environments, the SVA 500 features IP65 protection and has been tested against MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-810H requirements. The terminal has also undergone operational testing at altitudes of up to 40,000 ft, supporting its use in demanding field conditions.
With 32GB of eMMC storage and an Android-based software architecture, the SVA 500 provides a combination of rugged hardware, flexible application integration, and network connectivity for communications infrastructure where reliability and adaptability are required.
