Systel is re-aligning its line of rugged rackmount computers under Wolf nomenclature and branding. This new product brand architecture makes it easier for customers to cross-compare products and make the best decisions based on their unique requirements.

As the 2024 Road Show comes to a close, Systel reflects on a year marked by innovation, connection, and growth. Traveling across the country, we showcased our latest technological advancements and reaffirmed our commitment to excellence. Our journey took us from bustling cities to vibrant communities, each stop providing an opportunity to engage with our audience and demonstrate our progress in various technological fields.

We are excited to announce our newest series, "Product Minute with Systel," to provide insights into our products, their underlying technologies and engineering techniques, and the problems they solve. In the innaugural episode of this new series, Sam Mata, embedded computer product manager at Systel, discusses features of our Sparrow-Strike and Kite-Strike II products.

Most commercial industries are seeing a rise in the use of autonomous systems, and as technology gets more widely available, so does the need for industrial tough solutions. This blog gives insight on the demands for autonomy from business and industrial domains, and looks at how Systel contributes to the delivery of cutting-edge rugged computing to meet these sectors' goals for autonomy.

When it comes to working in demanding environments, professionals in defense and commercial industries require robust and reliable computing solutions. Enter rugged computers, purpose-built to withstand extreme conditions and deliver uninterrupted performance. Whether you find yourself navigating challenging terrains or working in demanding environments, we’ve curated a list of 5 considerations that will guide you towards making an informed decision.

From extreme weather conditions to high-pressure environments, numerous industries demand computing solutions that can withstand even the harshest situations. Enter rugged computer hardware. But did you know that not all rugged devices are created equal? The two major categories that dominate the market are MIL-SPEC rugged and commercial rugged devices. So, what sets them apart, and which one is right for your needs? Let's dive in.

Whenever you watch a video – whether it is streamed over a network or downloaded onto a device – the chances are that the original files have been compressed and the file size shrunk to make it more manageable for the bandwidth and storage available to you at the time. This compression is known as video encoding and it is a hugely important process to ensure that video data can be stored and transmitted efficiently, even over constrained networks where bandwidth is limited.

Ruggedized storage solutions are critical for defense and industrial applications, giving users the capability to securely store different types of data that is collected during missions and operations. For demanding applications, it is vital that storage solutions are encrypted and expertly ruggedized to ensure that data is not lost or compromised as a result of the adverse and challenging conditions.

MIL-STD-810 is one of the most well-known mil-spec standards with widespread usage as a benchmark for ensuring high-performance in austere environmental conditions. In this blog, we take a detailed look at the latest revision - MIL-STD-810H - and what is required for equipment to pass this rigorous set of standards.

It happens to us all, our electronics eventually reach the point where they must be replaced. But while it’s relatively straightforward to replace our personal devices and computers, it’s a complex challenge for our military and industrial customers, where the same qualified design for aircraft, ground vehicles, oil rigs, or other equipment may be used for decades. So how do we help our customers manage obsolescence?

Today’s high-performance military computer systems rely increasingly on the graphics processing unit (GPU) to perform complex tasks.

If you’re thinking about buying a rugged computer, then you need to have the confidence that it can survive the most extreme conditions and it will still function when it’s needed in critical situations. But what exactly is ruggedization, and what do you need to look out for?
