Sunhillo’s Longport M4I Module accepts interrogation synchronously from a single 25 pin serial interface and in the form of UDP packets from dual Ethernet interfaces. Interrogation requests can arrive in any order from either type of interface. The synchronous serial port handles CD-2 and M4IS‑Simple Format, while the redundant Ethernet Ports handle strictly M4IS-Simple Format.
Sunhillo’s Longport Platform is a robust, versatile and modular system designed for Surveillance Sensor Data Distribution and message conversions. The Longport chassis is a 19” standard EIA rack mount unit with an elevation of 3U and, with the installation of a Longport M4I module, is fully compatible with the Mode 4 Interrogator System. Up to 6 hot‑swappable M4I Modules can be installed in each Longport chassis.
Sunhillo’s Longport Platform is FAA approved and deployed, providing sensor interfacing capabilities for the FAA STARS, ASR11, as well as the military DASR program.
