In our main article “Futureproof Your OT with Moxa’s Secure Edge-to-Core Networking“, we explored strategies for future-ready OT networks. This article takes that discussion a step further by emphasizing the importance of reliability in industrial networking. When industrial operations depend on uninterrupted communication, a dependable Ethernet backbone becomes essential. Here, we’ll look at how Moxa’s Ethernet solutions provide the stability and performance needed to keep your operations running smoothly.
- The edge layer aggregates the many connected devices.
- The distribution layer provides assurance that the data is transmitted between layers.
- The core layer aggregates data at scale and bridges between IT/OT systems.
