The development of Lynx has been funded by the UK Ministry of Defence, as an Innovation Project.

The MoD funded us to develop a TRL 6 Project, whose capabilities are similar to a combined; BAE NetVIPR™ , BAE Trinity™ and OpNet.

We developed and built this to TRL 6 in six months. At the end of the project we were invited to demonstrate it at the combined QinetiQ and Dstl Wireless Event, and later to the Senior Royal Corps of Signals Management Team, of NATO’s Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC) at Imjin Barracks.

Lynx is built on open hardware standards and opensource software. It is not an integration of traditional routers, switches and servers. Instead these functions are delivered via high performance INTEL CPU’s which are surface mounted onto a motherboard.

This architecture lends itself well to virtualization or containerisation, or a hybrid of the two methods.

There are two versions of Lynx, both are functionally the same. One is supplied in a Peli Case, and the other in a Metal Cabinet.

The pictures below are of the version of Lynx, as of July 2022. Our next version will be approximately one fifth of the size of the current systems shown below.

The system below would normally be vehicle mounted.

The system below is exactly the same as the vehicle mounted version in terms of functionality, however it is a hand portable system, mounted in a Peli Case.

To enable voice communications, a software PBX and 1,000 VoIP desk phones can be supported. The desk phones use Power over Ethernet (PoE), so that no electricity supply is needed to power the phones. This further simplifies the setting up of a rapid response capability. Users laptops can then be connected into the desk phones, to further reduce and simplify the necessary ethernet cabling.
