This document summarizes a presentation given by Steve Frank of EtherWAN, a manufacturer of Ethernet networking devices. EtherWAN focuses on producing environmentally hardened Ethernet switches and media converters for applications in transportation infrastructure, security/surveillance, and smart grid utilities. Their devices are designed to operate in extreme temperatures and withstand vibration. EtherWAN provides managed and unmanaged switches with features like VLAN tagging, QoS, port security, and fast recovery from link failures. Their hardened devices are suited for network edge applications requiring reliability.

20. EtherWAN Features & Applications

21. Managed DevicesAllows more control over your LAN traffic and offer advanced features to control that traffic; enables port configuration, prioritize traffic, create VLAN’s, bandwidth allocation per port, access & security, etc.AdvantagesHighly robust management features

22. Total Cost of Ownership can be reduced by creating VLANs (increasing port footprint)

23. Aggregated bandwidth across the network can be controlled

24. Port and User security is addressed and maintainedDisadvantagesCost is typically higher than an un-managed or web-managed device
