The CXB control unit of the latest generation has the following advantages:

• Low maintenance. Hughes products are built to remain in operation for more than 30 years without major maintenance due to the highest quality materials used in the construction. 
• External cabinet (1) of highest quality stainless steel. The use of stainless steel in accordance with DIN50049 / 3.1B, thanks to its non-magnetic properties, completely eliminates the occurrence of any kind of corrosion, including electrochemical corrosion over the entire life of the cabinet.
• Special double roof (2) prevents water / snow accumulation and protects the internal parts from overheating in hot climates.
• Padlock facility handle (3) protects from unauthorized access.
• Protection lips from rain water (4);
• Connector for antenna remote control (5);
• Rugged pole mounting brackets (6) for different pole types;
• Door alarm switch (7) activates when the door is opened and sends the signal to the SCADA system. This feature notifies about access to the cabinet.
• Inventive climate system (8) for long term reliability. The lower louvers have a combination of a polymeric fine filter and a PTC thermoelement, which creates a moving air stream to the upper louvers. This air stream always evens out the day and night effect. The bottom of the cabinet has 5 drainage holes with micro filter preventing water gathering in case of any condensation;
• Inventive protection system from water ingress via the outgoing drive shaft;
• Communication to the control centre can be done via SMS, MODBUS, DNP3 and IEC 60870-5-101/104 serial
  and IP communication via radio-GSM;

The CXB cabinet has the following components:

• Operating panel with rotary switch Remote/Off/Local;
• Operating buttons and indicators for the switch module;
• Standard lead acid AGM type battery 2 x 12 V 20 AH;
• Temperature compensated battery charger (UPS);
• Internal ventilation system with special filter;
• Heating system to prevent condensation and to give the electronics a long life and a good working environment;

Optional components:

• Lightning protection for the antenna gland;
• Li-Ion batteries for high temperature climate zones, 2 x 12.8 V 20 AH;
• Input power (110 or 230V) surge arresters;
• Communication unit option A: GIO-100 GSM/4G/LAN Router with IEC60870-5-104 signalling protocol and IPSec encryption and IP filtering;
• Communication unit option B: GIO-200 GSM/4G/LAN Router with IEC60870-5-104 signalling protocol and IPSec and Open VPN encryption and IP filtering;
