Siemens Ethernet device sets speed record

October 2014 News

Siemens Ruggedcom RS950G has set a speed record: the utility grade IEC 62439-3 compatible product demonstrated a transmission rate of 1 Gbps on HSR (high-availability seamless redundancy) and PRP (parallel redundancy protocol) links. This was achieved during interoperability tests conducted in Spain during July in preparation for an interoperability demonstration by the UCA International Users Group, a non-profit organisation that includes utilities, suppliers, universities and other institutions that is dedicated to enhancing interoperability for the utility enterprise using open international standards.

The RS950G is designed to operate reliably in harsh industrial environments such as power generation and distribution, and for rail transport. The results of this recent interoperability test demonstrated that Ruggedcom RS950G meets the demands of the high-speed communications networks of the future by achieving a transmission rate of 1 Gbps on HSR and PRP whilst supporting future-oriented standards such as IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1588.
