In complex mine scenarios, where machinery roars, dust rises and darkness reigns, communications become essential tool to shine light on safety and efficiency. Not only that, but they support coordination, decision-making and the well-being of workers. For instance, inside a mine, communications are used to connect construction vehicles and set up an information exchange network. When...
Continuing our series of blog posts on the most representative technologies to consider when selecting switches, we will now address port & link aggregation technologies. Historical background on port & link aggregation In the evolution of Ethernet standards, each new generation typically saw a tenfold increase in capacity compared to the previous one: 10 megabits/s, 100Mbits/s,...
In the ever-changing world of IT networks, observability has become crucial to ensure computer networks run safely and efficiently. The ability to understand and monitor the internal states of a system in real time has become essential in areas as wide-ranging as software development and system management. The term "observability" first appeared in Rudolf Kalman’s control theory and refers to...
There is a clear trend in the electronics industry for integration, allowing for more compact and efficient designs. More and more, electronics manufacturers are making their chips smaller, including more components within their chips and extending the feature range. This can be seen in highly integrated microcontrollers (with the introduction of SiP, System-in-Package), massive functionality...
This blog post is the first in a series in which we will analyze the most notable technologies that we should take into account when selecting switches. Its aim is not to give a comprehensive description or follow any “didactic” order. One of the main characteristics of professional switches is the feature known as stacking, grouping or virtualization. Different manufacturers refer to this...
A phrase that is commonly repeated in the realm of systems, processes, and equipment management is “a chain is only as strong as its weakest link”. This couldn’t be more true when it comes to deploying an electric vehicle charging network. Charging point operators (CPOs), responsible for managing charging stations, often bear the brunt of the significance of this phrase within their own chain....
