Mission critical
When failure is not an option
3... 2... 1... Liftoff! Every time.
Mission critical applications require only the best. As the name explicitly states, the mission is critical – and failure is not an option – no matter what challenges stand in its way. Even in the face of harsh conditions and unexpected variables, every component must continue operating at its best.
Are your devices ready for action?

Ready for action. Without exception.
Protection against failure is vitally important in mission critical applications. No matter what the cause, a failure must not jeopardize the successful outcome of a mission.
Guaranteeing successful outcomes every time and over time requires not only the best components and devices, but also impeccable quality control and a perfect fit for the intended application. Component and feature redundancy also serve as important safeguards that protect against unexpected contingencies.
Most importantly, mission critical applications each present unique sets of challenges and requirements that equipment and components must be able to tackle. Being up for the task means being customized for the mission at hand.


Mission critical applications involve any and all types of challenges: extreme heat and freezing temperatures, arid climates and humid environments, extreme mechanical stress, magnetism and electrical interference and more.
While requirements can vary, they always include being able to deal with unique and tough operating environments while providing ample security. This, combined with other considerations such as sustained performance, feature sets, unique form factors and technologies, etc., make customization a key requirement for devices used in the mission critical sector.
Not unlike how staff are equipped and trained for each mission to raise the chances of success, hardware used in mission critical application must also be equipped with the right features and technologies to be at their best.
