Equipment¶

- Mechanical equipments

The first equipment that we had (given by Professor Franck) was a Voyager suitcase, of the brand Pelican.
Here is a picture of our suitcase.

The size of the suitcase is : 50.2 x 40.1 x 18.8 cm. Therefore, the suitcase is carriable by a single person. But, the main quality of this suitcase is that it is very robust (it is resistant to a one meter drop, STANAG 4280 and Def Stan 81-41 certification), it is resistant to high and low temperature (-40°C to 99°C, STANAG 4280 certification) and it is waterproof, and therefore dustproof (IP67 and MIL C-4150J certification).
Therefore, this suitcase cope with our form factor, carriable, resistance and waterproofing constraints.
In order to fix the equipments on the suitcase, we used wooden board as a stand, and plastic collars for fixing the equipments to the stand.

- Network equipments

We choose to put a router in our Microbox, to cope with the scalability and security constraints. The chosen router is a Microtik hEX PoE Lite.

Its size is : 113x89x28mm. Therefore, it fits in the suitcase perfectly, and we will have plenty of place for placing other equipments.
This router is that it has a routerOS, so we can monitor the different connected equipment, we can parameter the Wifi network, and also other parameters in order to have a secure connection. It also five 10/100 Ethernet ports (one in, four out), so we can connect to it four equipments, plus the Wifi connectivity. It also has a USB port, which is useful for charging a device. This router is reliable, small and is affordable for our project.

The other network equiment is an
