Building a resilient network in mining and resources operations is like choosing the right tool for the job.
You wouldn’t use a complex scientific calculator when all you need is quick arithmetic. Likewise, selecting between smart switches and managed switches depends on the level of control, security, and flexibility your network demands.
For operations that require reliable connectivity, efficient performance, and network visibility, smart switches offer an optimal balance of capability and simplicity.
If you’re looking for an upgrade that supports fibre uplinks for remote site connectivity, flexible port configurations for scalable network planning, or cost-effective enhancements, smart switches provide a powerful yet straight-forward solution.
