Our unique FRNT (Fast Recovery of Network Topology) technology is the fastest network recovery protocol on the market. FRNT is able to reconfigure a redundant ring network consisting of up to 200 switches within 20 ms of the initial failure, regardless of network load. FRNT is a protocol supported by other Westermo switches like the Lynx, Wolverine and Viper series meaning that different types of Westermo switch can be configured in the ring.

Multicast data packets are the perfect way to transmit data to multiple 'consumers' on a network. If for instance fifty users wish to view a video feed it would congest a network completely if every data frame had to be sent fifty times. A single multicast packet is all that is transmitted by the data 'producer'.
