GBWe look forward to flying your products on our next launch! The quality of these switches is exemplary. They fill a much-desired need in the market for a tiny form factor networking switch. For our use case, this switch will be the heart of the communication infrastructure for a high-altitude collegiate liquid rocket's onboard avionics system, carrying data critical to the mission's success. For us because of the vibrational environment, the board-to-board architecture of the GigaBlox Nano is fantastic, it removes points of failure and decreases system complexity. One of the reasons we decided to go with a COTS switch, in this case, was to allow us to worry less about the reliability of the vehicle's data backbone and more about the interesting control and data logging problems we are facing. I would highly recommend BotBlox products to anyone looking for an integrated low profile networking solution. We look forward to flying your products on our next launch, and what amazing things they will help us achieve! Thank you. Purdue Space Program Liquids Avionics Lead Engineer, Taylor Duchinski.

GBPrefect for robots! I've ordered a Gigablox, which is a 5-port gigabit switch of the size about 4.5x4.5 cm. Incredibly small! And it works well, even full gigabit. It generates only neglectable amount of heat, and the wide input voltage means one less DC-DC converter or stabilizer on your robot. Yay! The makers from Botblox look like quite skilled engineers, and they're very open to ideas. I suggested them an improvement to Nanoblox, and a few weeks later, a newsletter announces it's on the roadmap. This doesn't happen with every company - try making suggestions to Netgear :) I'm really looking forward for the other planned products because they've really hit the niche robotics needed to cover.

GBitem shipped and arrived promptly, packaging needs a bit of attention, but they're working on it! item shipped and arrived promptly. The outer box was open and crushed on one corner but contents were sealed and intact. Items were in good condition. ...Upgrading the review based on feedback from BotBlox staff. They were attentive, responsive and concerned about the packing problems.

NOSimply Great! Great products, great service, great prices. Simply great. I'm a senior design engineer for a Norwegian robotics company, and we use the GigaBlox as the backbone for our latest development project. Bought a few for prototyping and were very happy with the results. Easy to connect, well documented, good quality. Quick response from the company both with regards to technical questions, custom orders and purchasing methods. Highly recommended for embedded IoT projects.

GBInnovative products I purchased a SwitchBlox Nano to fit into my BlueROV2 and it worked perfect first time. Very impressed with the technology as it was a fraction of the size of the one I bought off Amazon.
