Challenge: Powering a tablet-based military simulator

The Naval Air Warfare Centre Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) provides virtual simulation training for the U.S. Navy. Their methods improve the effectiveness of team observation, evaluation, and feedback for both live event and scenario-based training environments. For such a mission critical environment, they needed a reliable and secure adapter.

Solution: Military-grade reliability with LAVA eSynC-vc5UE

LAVA’s eSynC-vc5UE was the perfect fit for the training simulator. Its 5 USB-A ports enabled access to peripheral devices such as scanners, joysticks, keyboards, and more. Meanwhile, its reliable Ethernet connection made it easy to record and transfer results. The voltage conversion feature ensured that the peripherals were properly powered during long simulations.

Challenge: Battery protection for military helicopter tablets

Helicopter pilots require both hands and feet to fly, so a tablet is often strapped to a pilot’s leg to provide additional information they need. As such, it’s imperative that these tablets stay charged and their batteries remain healthy. A U.S. state’s National Guard reached out to LAVA for a charging and battery protection solution for their Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.

Solution: Protecting helicopter pilots’ tablets with the Charge-Check

LAVA provided the military outfit with 40 Charge-Checks, which use LAVA’s plug-and-play overcharge protection measure: Continuously Active Battery Modulation (CABM). Using CABM, the Charge-Check automatically stops charging when it detects that the battery is close to a full charge. It then allows the mobile device to discharge for a preset number of hours before starting the next charging cycle. This ensures the device doesn’t overcharge, reducing battery degradation. Armed with the Charge-Check, the Black Hawk pilots can extend the lifespan of their tablets.

Challenge: Powering a tablet-based short-range communication system

In 2015, Wyoming was chosen by the U.S. Department of Transportation to deploy a dedicated short-range communications technology to monitor road conditions to improve safety.

Solution: WYDOT’s Connected Vehicle Pilot

Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) developed the Connected Vehicle Pilot in collaboration with Nearera Consulting. It would use vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure and infrastructure-to-vehicle connectivity to improve reporting of I-80’s road conditions. Powered by a LAVA adapter, the Samsung tablet-based system would provide a flexible range of services. Some of these include: road condition information, front-end collision threats, work zone alerts and distress calls from connected vehicles.

Challenge: Replacing police car laptops with tablet solutions

LAVA worked with Samsung and Australian-based automotive accessories company Strike to create a viable solution to replace old laptops and desktop computers in the public safety scene with Samsung DeX in-car technology, making the work environment safer, more flexible and more efficient for police officers in the field by simply using a Samsung smartphone and the Samsung DeX docking solution.

Solution: DeX for law enforcement

Intended for select Galaxy S series and Note phones, the built-in DeX in-vehicle solution features a ruggedized Strike cradle and LAVA’s Xperience 6UH adapter. This adapter allows you to connect up to six USB accessories at the same time. It also has an HDMI port so you can connect an external display and get DeX’s desktop interface.

THE LAVA STORY

Since 1984, LAVA has designed and manufactured industry leading connectivity solutions for PCs and mobile devices.

Our SimulCharge™ technology was first to provide tablets with simultaneous power and data capabilities. Our Battery Modulation technology was also first to offer battery protection, adding years to the life of your device. We build the most robust adapters for tablet installations, but what we really do is expand the capabilities of your device.
