Norfolk Southern, a leading company in railway shipping, development, and maintenance was looking for a solution for a track inspection system. The company wanted to find a semi-rugged, reliable, and proven embedded computing architecture that was also cost-effective. As the design did not require particularly high speeds, the backplane architecture options were wide open.

Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a tool for RF spectrum monitoring, control, and testing.  It is used in drone detection and deterrence, wireless testing, Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), electronic warfare, and wireless communication, among other applications. Rugged or extreme environments can present a challenge to SDR, however, because of the sensitivity of the hardware to moisture, temperature, and shock or vibration.
