A substation network must carry protection, measurement and control traffic through an electrically harsh environment. This case study explains the topology, switch-selection criteria and evidence required for an industrial SCADA deployment.

Mining networks connect control, monitoring and safety systems across areas that may be dusty, hot, cold or difficult to access. This case study explains how to document the environment, topology and validation evidence before selecting an industrial switch.

Urban rail networks combine wayside cabinets, stations and onboard equipment, each with different space, vibration, temperature and uplink requirements. This case study maps those requirements to a rugged Ethernet design and its validation checklist.
