- However, in one hand, the system developers are likely to have standardize design to keep the investment in terms of time, human resource and money as small as possible. In another hand, the software development of managed switches is subject to the differences in ASIC chips dedicated to switch manufacturers, and the closed and continuous update of their respective SDKs, which cause of high manpower investment and long development cycle of enterprises.
L2 Managed Switch Software Redevelopment Service
- System developers only need to share the current hardware schematic diagram or provide hardware demonstration unit. After evaluation, we can do software matching according to the hardware platform, and then do customized software redevelopment services on the basis of successful software matching. To further enhance the software after delivery, only a certain minimum demand can keep the deal.
| Chip Part Number | Common Configuration | Compatible Design | Software function | Industrial Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTL8380M | 8GE+2xSFP | 4GE+2xSFP | Full L2 managed | Y |
| RTL8382M | 24GE+4xSFP | 8GE+20xSFP(combo GE optional) | Full L2 managed | Y |
| RTL8382L | 24GE+4xSFP | 8GE+20xSFP(combo GE optional) | Simply managed | Y |
| RTL9301 | 24GE+4xSFP+ | 24xSFP（combo GE optional）+ 4xSFP+ | Lite L3 managed | N |
L2 managed switches based on RTL83xx chips have been widely used.
L3 Managed Switch Customization Service
- Opposite to the globalization, the localization of equipment manufacturing is a trend, but it also needs a process and time.
- In the closed subdivision industries, the local agents and distributors of switches after having a certain market ability and sales channels, they need to build their own brand and achieve differentiated product forms, to avoid vicious price competition of product homogenization.
Multi-Gigabit Switch
- WIFI6, xGPON, 8K AV over IP and other applications have higher requirements for access switch port rate, traditional Gigabit switches can not meet the demand, 10G base-T price is too high, compatible with Gigabit 2.5GE/5GE switch is the best cost-effective choice.
TSN
- In the face of industrial networking and industrial automation market segments, time-sensitive application becomes more important.
- To IEEE1588 PTP compliance, some design requirements have to be met.
- PHY supports IEEE 1588 PTP Switch chip in high performance low power consumption industrial grade.
The 5th Generation Fixed Network
- For the 5th generation fixed networks.
- For the industrial PON, In order to meet the new link, and high requirements of industrial networking such as high reliability, low power consumption capability.
