Alternative to SONET/SDH
Based on the most advanced Ethernet/IP, VoIP and TDMoIP technologies, the JumboSwitch product family offers an efficient, low cost alternative to SONET/SDH network solutions for many applications. Moreover, it promises straight-forward and simple scalability for all network topologies and sizes.
Compared to the complicated hierarchies of SONET or SDH based systems, the JumboSwitch drastically reduces operational expenses since it totally eliminates unnecessary hardware layers, thus significantly lowering the skill level required for installation, maintenance and troubleshooting.
In the past, SONET and SDH communication systems were the only choices when it came to building mission critical automation and control systems. But, progress in the control, computing and communication technologies has made these TDM based communication systems basically obsolete. As a result, modern network designs are moving towards Ethernet/IP based communication backbones
