AT AFCEA West Trade Show in the US, the RE2500 Portable Rugged Computer made its debut, to huge success. Features that the audience liked was its size, advanced thermal management system and radio silencing abilities. Making it a great addition to the Crystal Group Rugged Computer product line.
Why was the RE2500 Portable Rugged Computer developed?
Originally, the RE2500 was developed for a Defence Organisation. However, they had a list of requirements, and nothing was readily available with all the features off shelf. They approached the Crystal Group.
The challenges
Firstly, the features required included:
- Smaller footprint than their current computing solution
- No sacrifice on power and function.
- Radio silencing capabilities
- Overhead bin packable for standard commercial aircraft

Engineering done in 45 days!
Due to their specialised experience with rugged embedded computing solutions, the Advanced Program Pursuits Engineering Team built the RE2500 in just under 45 days.
The RE2500 Portable Rugged Computer
The RE2500 is compact. But has exceptional storage capacity of 30 TB with removable solid state drives. It also has a variety of I/O features including USB 3.1 and USB C.
