Metric Systems Corporation Broadens Rhino Box™ Product Offerings

June 10, 2011. Vista, California. Metric Systems Corporation announced that its popular environmentally controlled electronic equipment enclosure, the Rhino Box™, is now available in new standard and custom model configurations.

The new product offerings give customers a standardized approach to ordering a Rhino Box™ while still supporting the customization options for which MSC is so well known. With multiple case sizes (9U, 11U, 12U, 14U, and 19U) supporting both U.S. and international power configurations, the new Rhino Box™ product family simplifies and expedites ordering.

After successful deployment of a Rhino Box™ based mesh dynamic network with the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) on the Yuma-Mexico border, President Bill Brown noted that “one of the greatest challenges we surmounted was in providing a solution adaptable to the harsh, variant-temperature desert climate. After years of research, we were able to deploy the all-terrain, all-weather rugged Rhino Box™ just for this very purpose.”

Jeff Estes, CBP-Oit Project Manager, stated in support:

“The challenge to provide connectivity to the most inaccessible CBP [U.S. Customs and Border Patrol] sites in the United States presented a unique set of circumstances for our new Arizona network.

MSC was able to provide a unique and resilient solution tailored around our missions. Our requirement presented no other true or like comparisons, and our expectations were met with a reliable, frequency agnostic, easily deployable and low cost solution set.

Of all these features, the ability to support numerous SCADA, telephony, LMR, and other unique mission requirements was key.”

MSC’s success in the CBP project was instrumental in propelling the move to broaden its Rhino Box™ offerings. For more information on Rhino Box™ models and availability, please visit the Rhino Box™ homepage, or call us at (760) 560-0348.
