The industrial ethernet industry is growing, with high-bandwidth solutions that facilitate IT/OT convergence. New technologies prioritize scalable infrastructure with improved port density and quicker data aggregation to address the growing need for seamless communication and real-time industrial applications. For example, in July 2024, Moxa released its new MRX Series Layer 3 rackmount ethernet switches, which offer 64 ports and up to 16 10GbE ports to expedite data aggregation for industrial applications. With the EDS-4000/G4000 Series Layer 2 DIN-rail ethernet switches that provide 2.5GbE uplink choices, users can set up a high-bandwidth network infrastructure in order to achieve IT/OT convergence. 

Moreover, the industry is embracing advanced networking technologies, including high-capacity layer 3 and layer 2 switches. These technologies boost scalability, speed up data transfer, and enable seamless integration of industrial systems, responding to the growing demand for connected industrial settings. For instance, in July 2024, Rockwell Automation and Cisco Systems, Inc. collaborated to develop the Stratix 5200 Ethernet switches. Furthermore, industrial ethernet providers are working to improve network stability and speed to enable real-time industrial automation activities. This includes developments in protocols such as EtherNet/IP and PROFINET, which allow for flawless data transport in challenging industrial situations. Additionally, the aftermarket segment provides considerable revenue prospects as companies migrate from outdated systems to ethernet-based networks for greater performance. High-performance ethernet solutions are selected for their reliability and efficiency in tough industrial environments.
