Products Overview

PRODUCTS - MISSION CRITICAL EMBEDDED COMPUTERS

NOVA Integration Solutions (NIS) specializes in the design, manufacture, test/validation, and system/hardware integration of highly specialized, mission critical, turn-key embedded computing solutions. Programs of this type require a highly reliable hardware platform and power solution, as they typically are subjected to extremely harsh environmental conditions, such as shock/vibration, altitude, extreme temperature ranges, EMI/RFI, HEMP, nuclear/chemical survivability, salt, fog, humidity, water, sand/dust, and explosive atmosphere. Whether customers need prototypes or a full production run, NIS’s staff of electrical, mechanical, test, manufacturing, and system engineers can, in many cases, quickly and cost-effectively produce a turn-key solution in less than 12 weeks. Extensive in-house analysis tools and expertise provide an invaluable proof-of-concept available at the Critical Design Review (CDR), weeks before final assembly and integration is completed. Mitigating risk is the key to success in any program, large or small.

NIS’s experienced staff can quickly turn a programs requirement document into a customized concept, tailored to the programs needsMeticulous part selection utilizing high reliability commercial off-the-shelf products is the key

to delivering a system that meets the performance and environmental requirements including power consumption and heat dissipation. It is understood that the requirements of applications in defense, railways, traffic, avionics, and space vary and require careful attention. All system designs start with system processor selection and additional parts are then selected to build a compatible system. Design considerations include not only the motherboard, but many other components as listed below:
