The Flexibilis Redundant Switch (FRS) is a versatile triple-speed Ethernet Layer-2 switch IP core designed to integrate High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) and the Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) into a single solution. Known for its exceptional performance, FRS can handle full-duplex gigabit speeds across multiple ports, making it one of the most robust hardware options for ensuring redundant network communication.
FRS eliminates the need for separate RedBoxes by allowing devices to be connected directly, thereby reducing costs and complexity in deployment. Its FPGA-based design provides a flexible implementation with port customization capabilities, enabling it to operate under various network configurations and speed requirements. Additionally, FRS supports the IEEE1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP), ensuring accurate time synchronization across network nodes, a critical function for network stability in time-bound communication environments.
Available in customizable configurations ranging from 3 to 8 ports, FRS can be adapted to specific user needs. Its robust support for wire-speed Ethernet packet forwarding, coupled with transparent clock processing, makes it ideal for applications demanding high reliability and precision like industrial networks, smart grid solutions, and any infrastructure where seamless communication is imperative.
