Service Aware Industrial Ethernet Switches

• Modular systems - RADiFlow 3300 and RADiFlow 3700 have 3 and 7 interface slots, respectively
  
• Each slot can host either an Ethernet or a serial module, thus supporting a smooth migration of legacy serial-based units
  
• Application-aware firewall per port
  
• Integrated VPN agent for inter-site connectivity or remote user access
  
• Advanced L2 and L3 feature-set including support for VLAN tagging, QoS, Ethernet OAM and more
  
• Scalable resilient network structure using G.8032 Ethernet rings
  
• Overall capacity can scale up to 28xGE full-duplex throughput with wire-speed switching for both Ethernet and IP

• Ruggedized switch ensures operation in harsh environments, standard compliant with IEC 61850-3, IEEE 1613.
  
• Integrated firewall on each port provides a network-based distributed security solution equivalent to the use of personal firewalls on each system in the network
  
• Distributed firewalls throughout the network isolate the various logical functions and control the traffic that flows between sites
  
• End-to-end high-availability achieved through network resiliency schemes - G.8032 rings, RSTP and MSTP.
  
• IEEE 1588v2 for precise synchronization across the network.
  
• Built-in QoS to support mission critical applications such as SCADA.

The firewall implemented in the switch is "application-aware", meaning that it inspects the contents of the data packets according to the rules of the industrial protocol used. This firewall is operated according to user-defined access-rules for each end-device up to the level of the industrial protocol command parameters.

Communication between distributed utility sites must be resilient and secured. Furthermore in the remote sites a variety of end-devices should be accessible in an outdoor environment.

With the RADiFlow switches you can implement a compact integrated communication center in each site that addresses all the requirements of the distributed utility application.
