Mission Critical Industrial Ethernet Course

Introduction

This 1-day course addresses the fundamentals and best practices in deploying industrial Ethernet networks, with focus on reliability and redundancy, security, future proofing, and reducing the total cost of infrastructure ownership.

For a limited time, all attendees will receive Hirschmann’s LITE MANAGED SWITCH GECKO 8TX.

Objective

Participants will gain a basic understanding of Industrial Ethernet, and learn the best practice in deploying these networks.

Intended Audience

This training course is suitable for Design Engineers or Consultants, Service and Maintenance Technicians, System Integrators/ Installers/Network Engineers and Network owners and operators.
