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.


Effective data communication involves the convergence of networking technologies among layers of networks:

  • 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.
