Enchanced Ethernet Switches

Why do validation teams need a controllable layer-2 switch?

Validation benches are getting more complicated day-by-day: MACsec‑encrypted links you can’t inspect, mixed gPTP and PTPv2 domains, and test flows that need selective mirroring, routing or simulation—without disturbing the system under test. Technica’s Enhanced Ethernet Switches (EES) bring together MACsec hardware with safe visibility, multi‑partition timing control, and advanced traffic engineering—along with an intuitive browser-based UI that lets you configure on the go.

Fragmented time domains

Struggling with synchronizing ECUs across different time domains? Our switches bridge PTPv2 and gPTP seamlessly, ensuring unified time synchronization across the network.

Encrypted traffic validation

With MACsec becoming a standard, validating encrypted traffic is a challenge. Our switches support full MACsec integration with MKA handshake, enabling secure packet inspection without compromising performance.

Complex configuration overhead

Competing switches require CLI or external tools for setup. Technica’s intuitive web interface allows real-time configuration of VLANs, port roles, and time sync parameters—no scripting required.

Data flow management

As test benches grow, managing traffic shaping, ingress rate limiting, and port segmentation becomes critical. Our advanced feature set supports granular control over bandwidth and traffic flow.

Why today’s IVN validation needs more than just a simple switch

The reality in today’s IVN validation:

Encrypted traffic you can’t inspect

Mixed PTPv2 and gPTP domains causing de-sync

Test benches needing simulation, selective routing, or injection

Engineers forced to choose between visibility OR security

Tool lock-in slowing test teams

What teams are asking for:

Security + Visibility together

Timing control across domains

Transparent test insertion without breaking master/slave roles

Controlling the traffic during simulation

Intuitive web-based configuration and Remote API to operate the switches via scripting

A device that adapts to validation, not the other way around
