Our Customization Tiers

We offer three paths to delivery, depending on your project's maturity and specialized needs:

1

Modified Platform

Adapt an existing design to reduce time-to-market and R&D risk.

2

Switch SoM + Carrier

Use RCHD-SPARX as the core and design a custom carrier for your specific I/O.

3

Ground-Up Design

A fully bespoke switching platform developed from scratch for specialized requirements.

Why Choose a Custom Ethernet Switch?

Stop forcing your product to adapt to off-the-shelf hardware.

basic switches

Standard switches often fail to meet the specific needs of embedded and industrial products due to:

  • Suboptimal Port Mix: Wrong count or type of ports (Copper, Fiber, SPE, T1).
  • Incompatible Connectors: Need for M12, SFP+, or ruggedized RJ45.
  • Missing Features: Lack of hardware-level TSN, SyncE, or IEEE1588 support.
  • Environmental Limits: Standard gear isn't rugged enough for high-vibration or extreme temperature environments.
  • Short Lifecycles: Off-the-shelf IT gear often lacks the 10+ year availability required for industrial products.

Build a custom Ethernet switch with Conclusive Engineering, and you won't face compatibility problems. We fully focus on optimizing your project.
