| PURVIS Systems' Multiport Switches fully automate the reconfiguration of large scale facilities and systems. Multiport Switches can be integrated into facilities to configure systems for software development, hardware development, test support, operational exercise conduct, training, and production.
PURVIS Multiport Switching Systems are designed to be customer configurable to satisfy site specific requirements, and can be controlled manually or by a host computer. Using solid state and hard contact (relay) technologies, the Multiport Switch modules are designed to be highly reliable and "transparent" to the interfaces being switched. Multiport Switch modules do not convert or buffer data that would degrade the interface. In the simplest of terms, Multiport Switch modules switch cables (not data) which provides ideal solutions for real time systems.
PURVIS Multiport Switches provide a complete disconnect of the data path between the source and destination devices. This feature is integrated into systems where security, personnel and equipment protection are necessary.
Multiport Switches allow two or more positions to be closed simultaneously to create "plural" connections. Plural connections can be used to broadcast data to multiple destinations or to actively or passively "tap" the data path for analysis or data recording. Broadcasting is used to send messages to multiple terminals, consoles and computers, or to send timing or clock signals to multiple devices.
In mission critical applications, Multiport Switches provide redundant hardware configurations that can be configured when failures occur.
Multiport Switches reduce equipment costs by allowing devices or even systems to be shared among equipment suites. Simulation systems can be shared with tactical systems, thereby eliminating the need to purchase a simulator for every tactical system.
Multiport Switches eliminate the need for patch panels and manual re-cabling of systems. Eliminating patch panels not only reduces the time to reconfigure a system, but also eliminates the wear-and-tear on connectors and cables and the associated repair costs.
