Introduction

The EDS-G508E switches are equipped with 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports, making them ideal for upgrading an existing network to Gigabit speed or building a new full Gigabit backbone. Gigabit transmission increases bandwidth for higher performance and transfers large amounts of triple-play services across a network quickly.

Redundant Ethernet technologies such as Turbo Ring, Turbo Chain, RSTP/STP, and MSTP increase the reliability of your system and improve the availability of your network backbone. The EDS-G508E Series is designed especially for demanding communication applications, such as video and process monitoring, ITS, and DCS systems, all of which can benefit from a scalable backbone construction.
