écrin
Ecrin Systems


Explanation:
Check out www.ecrin.com

It gives you a complete presentation of the Ecrin systems in both French and English.
The followingis an extract from their site:

Born in 1976 as a research department for automatic working users, ECRIN Systems (Ltd. with a capital of 1,000,000 €) is nowadays an embedded computer specialist well known in France and Europe.

Indeed, during 28 years of experience, the french company has made more than 10 000 systems for more than 2000 customers in telecommunication ( Alcatel, France Télécom ), aerospace ( EADS, Zodiac, STNA, ESA ), defence ( Thales, DGA, Sagem ), transport ( SNCF, Alstom, RATP ), industrial process control and the Internet market ( Eutelsat, France Télévision )...

It seems a pretty complete site so I'm sure if you need extra information you will be able to find it here. Good luck

The company is called Ecrin Systems and under the tab Solutions and Products at the top of the page you will find on the left side of the page Ecrin Products. From there with the information you have in your text you should be able to find the correct term.

écrin
(systems) unit


Explanation:
The "unit" is an integral component of the complete system.
So we would say: XXX`s systems unit is a private unit based on IP protocol.

ecrin translates as "box". Box is the word they use in the trade for "unit". Verified by my husband who works within this field. Hope this helps.
