Edge Connected Router
Orbit MCR
Reliable, Rugged, Wireless Router
GE’s MDS Orbit ECR (Edge-Connect Router) is an ultra reliable rugged wireless router based on the MDS Orbit platform. It enables operators to extend secure and reliable 2G/3G/4G LTE cellular connectivity to critical applications while minimizing network downtime and improving application availability.
KEK teamed up with GE to revitalize the appearance of the MDS product line, creating a slick and robust aesthetic.
Graphics Specification
Our teams cover many disciplines including graphic design. With our final design, KEK also provided graphic specification and treatment for the MDS Orbit ECR.
Engineering and Prototyping
Heat sinking was a major concern for the Orbit ECR. Through the use of thermal analysis software, the KEK team was able to design and validate an enclosure that would properly absorb heat from the electronic components. From these engineering files KEK used CNC machining to create prototypes to verify the design, before production.
