ICEPOD 6.5

ICEPOD 6.5 Interface Side (Shown in Cooling Enclosure)

Interface Side with Cover

The ICEPOD 6.5 features new and improved Intel Core i7 Sandy Bridge^[1] quad-core processing and high-speed capture capabilities for mobile users. It is an entirely solid-state device with no internal moving parts. All heat is transferred via conduction to the external surface of the housing. The housing is made from aircraft grade aluminum. The ICEPOD 6.5 is a completely self-contained unit that includes an embedded computer with 16GBytes of system RAM, a 2TB solid-state data-array, and complete ICE-PIC6 functionality, with the ability to host dual input/output modules and dual processor modules.

Features

ICEPOD 6.5 Side Measurement

Close up of Interface Panel

• Dimensions: 12.3” x 5.9” x 2.0”
• Low power: runs on 12-volt DC power with a typical power consumption of 50 watts. With all CPU cores active, both processor modules active, and maximum I/O to internal storage, the peak power consumption is 80-85 watts.
• Silent operation (when implemented without the Cooling Enclosure, with a heat conduction surface)
• Cover plate for protection when in transit, secured with four heavy-duty thumb screws

Capabilities with Recommended Configurations

Many Configurations are available depending on the users test and signaling requirements:

• When configured with dual L-band modules the unit can monitor/capture two frequency bands simultaneously in the 900MHz - 2200MHz range.

• Dual 50MHz bandwidth captures (Dual 125 Megasamples/sec 14 bit) to 2TB of solid state storage is available using dual ICE-A2D-m14 modules.
• When configured with an analog to digital module (ICE-A2D-m14) and a digital to analog module (ICE-D2AWG-r2) complex input data can be recorded from baseband or candidate IF inputs (455KHz, 10.7 MHz, 21.4 MHz, 70MHz, 160MHz) and then played back out at baseband or selectable IF outputs from 0 to 500 MHz.
• When configured with the ICE-SONET-r6 optical interface, the ICEPOD 6.5 can record and playback up to OC48 (311.04 MBytes/sec). Ten Second snapshots (capture and playback) of OC192 (1.244 GBytes/sec) are also available.
• Record or playback rates of up to 600 MBytes/sec are available depending on configuration and module choices.

Cooling Enclosure

The Cooling Enclosure for the ICEPOD 6.5 serves a number of helpful purposes:

• Stabilizes the compact system while sitting on a flat surface
• Cools the ICEPOD by directing air blown by fans over its surface
• Daisy-chains DC power to the ICEPOD via barrel-connecting power cables
• Allows users to place two ICEPODs side-by-side on a 19 inch 2U shelf
• Dimensions: 14.2" x 6.2" x 3.25" (3.4" including feet)
