With centralized remote management and flexible deployment options (cloud or on – premise), this solution offers full control over the entire campus network, from APs to switches. It helps IT teams optimize performance, speed up troubleshooting, and scale easily. →For more←

Enterprise SONiC 8 Ports 2.5G RJ45 POE+ Switches Support PTP (Optional)

CX102S-8MT-M-S 8 port 2.5G switch fully supports IEEE1588 PTPv2 and SMPTE 2059-2 standards both through hardware and software. The hardware port supports PTP as a Boundary Clock (BC) or Transparent Clock (TC), with customizable modules to fit customer needs. On the software side, Asterfusion leads the way in implementing and optimizing PTP in SONiC, delivering top performance on our AsterNOS Enterprise Distribution. Currently, it supports PTP Class A with a maximum time error of ≤50 ns. →For More←
