RADiFlow 3080, 3300 and 3700 switches/routers

The RADiFlow 3080, 3300 and 3700 switches/routers from RAD Data Communications offer enhanced security, with an integrated, service-aware firewall per port, and can handle temperatures from -40 to 75°C without fans.

The integrated firewall on each port of the RADiFlow switches provides a network-based distributed security solution equivalent to the use of personal firewalls on all the systems. The firewall is ‘application aware’ in that it inspects the contents of the data packets according to the rules of the industrial protocol used. It operates on user-defined access rules for each end device up to the level of the industrial protocol command. In addition, the switches provide an integrated set of security tools so that a complete, in-depth defensive solution can be readily deployed.

The enhanced security features of the RADiFlow are of particular value in nationwide infrastructure applications that have a wide geographic distribution of small unmanned facilities since, in such situations, an attacker that successfully gains access to a single remote location can maliciously manipulate the behaviour of all the devices in the network.

Other features of the RADiFlow switches/routers include: up to 28 GB ethernet throughput; RS232/RS485 interfaces; redundant power supply; network resiliency using MSTP/RSTP, or G.8032 rings; 802.3ad link aggregation; IP routing supporting OSPF; multicast routing using IGMP snooping; secure IPSEC VPN tunnels and industrial protocol gateway capability.
