Description
Lynx is an Industrial switch made for harsh enviroments. The switch can be used in ether
100 Mbit or Gigabit networks due to our multi-rate SFP solution. Lynx can also be used
together with our previous Lynx-series of switches. Our unique FRNT
(Fast Recovery of Network Topology) technology is the fastest protocol on the market
to re-configure a network in the event of any link or hardware failure. That is why Lynx
is used in safety critical applications such as tunnels, traffic signal control and railway
systems.
Installations in harsh environments and places with heavy electrical interference require
the use of a reliable media. Lynx provides a number of solutions using fibre optic
transceivers. Multi- or singlemode transceivers can be used to build point-to-point or
redundant ring networks with ranges up to 120 km between each switch. Our BIDI
transceiver, which transmits and receives data on a single fibre can be used in applications
where the number of fibre cores are limited.
Real-time properties are implemented in the switch in order to achieve determinism
for real time critical applications. Lynx supports QoS (Quality of Service) with four
priority queues and strict priority scheduling as well as HoL (Head of Line Blocking
Prevention). All to assure that the data network is deterministic.
