  1. Industrial Ethernet Switches: Challenges & Futureproofing www.versitron.com

  2. Introduction • Industrial Ethernet switches are critical for data transmission and communication in factories, business networks, security systems, etc. • They enable high-capacity, controlled data flow in demanding industrial environments. • However, with evolving technologies and growing network needs, future challenges are emerging for industrial Ethernet switches. • VERSITRON manufactures a wide range of Industrial Fiber Optic Switches that are available in the following formats: Managed Industrial Switches, Unmanaged Industrial Switches, Managed Industrial PoE/PoE+ Switches.

  3. 1 On-Field Industrial Environmental Conditions: Increasing Use of Bandwidth Hungry Devices 5 Key Challenges for Industrial Ethernet Switches 2 Network Redundancy and Immediate Recovery 3 Stringent Need for Security 4 Manageability of High-Capacity and Multilayer Networking 5

  4. On-Field Industrial Environmental Conditions: • Harsh environments (indoor/outdoor) can impact switch performance. • Challenges include: • Electrostatic discharge (ESD) from high-voltage power • Electrical surges and transients • Electromagnetic interference (EMI) • Shocks, vibrations damaging ports and transmission lines • Extreme temperatures causing performance errors • Humidity, chemical exposure lead to switch failure

  5. 2. Increasing Use of Bandwidth-Hungry Devices • Modern networks require high bandwidth for data transmission. • Current Fast Ethernet speeds may not suffice in the future. • Challenge: Matching switch bandwidth and routing capacity to future demands.

  6. 3. Network Redundancy and Immediate Recovery • Modern networks require high bandwidth for data transmission. • Current Fast Ethernet speeds may not suffice in the future. • Challenge: Matching switch bandwidth and routing capacity to future demands.

  7. 4. Stringent Need for Security • Industrial networks are vulnerable to cyber threats and data breaches. • Future challenge: Implementing advanced security protocols to protect high-capacity networks. • VPNs with firewalls • Access control lists (ACLs) • Data encryption • Port-based user access control

  8. 5. Manageability of High-Capacity & Multilayer Networking • Growing network complexity due to increasing transmission needs. • High-capacity networks use multi-layered topologies (core, distribution, access). • Challenge: Managing switch performance in complex network designs with multiple layers.

  9. Conclusion • Understanding these challenges is crucial for futureproofing industrial Ethernet switches. • Invest in high-quality switches designed to handle the demanding environments and evolving needs of industrial automation. • Consider features like fiber optic connectivity, advanced security protocols, and robust manageability for complex networks.
