Substation-Rated, Enhanced Security Scada-Aware Ethernet
Layer 2 Managed Switch/Layer 3 Router With Optional 2G/3G
& 4G LTE Cellular Radio Link, Enhanced Network Security,
Terminal Server, PoE+, and 100FX SFP Ports
ComNet product series RLGE2FE16R are substation-rated and industrially hardened
layer 2 managed switches/layer 3 routers, with a unique and highly robust
packet processing SCADA-aware security firewall for the most mission-critical and
demanding cyber-security applications. The RLGE2FE16R is intended for deployment
in environments where high levels of electromagnetic noise and interference (EMI)
and severe voltage transients and surges are routinely encountered, such as electrical
utility substations and switchyards, heavy manufacturing facilities, track-side electronic
equipment, and other difficult out-of-plant installations. Layer 3 routing functionality
allows for the participation and foundation of a core network infrastructure.
The RLGE2FE16R is an ideal platform for deploying a secure communications and
networking gateway for remote electrical utility sites, and other critical infrastructure
applications.
