# Mechanical equipments

The first equipment that we had (given by Professor Franck) was a Voyager "suitcase":http://www.pelican.com/ca/fr/product/watertight-protector-hard-cases/medium-case/standard/1520/, of the brand Pelican.

Here is a picture of our suitcase.

The size of the suitcase are : 50.2 x 40.1 x 18.8 cm. Therefore, the suitcase is carriable by a single person. But, the main quality of this suitcase is that it is very robust (it is resistant to a one meter drop, STANAG 4280 and Def Stan 81-41 certification), it is resistant to high and low temperature (-40°C to 99°C, STANAG 4280 certification) and it is waterproof, and therefore dustproof (IP67 and MIL C-4150J certification). 

Therefore, this suitcase cope with our form factor, carriable, resistance and waterproofing constraints.

In order to fix the equipments on the suitcase, we used wooden board as a stand, and plastic collars for fixing the equipments to the stand.

# Network equipments

We choose to put a router in our Microbox, to cope with the scalability and security constraints. The chosen router is a Microtik hEX PoE Lite.
