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.

GBKnowledgeable and Helpful I have been working on a robotics project using the GigaBlox network switch as the main means of communication between devices. I recently resolved an issue thanks to BotBlox support. They helped by suggesting useful tests to perform, and giving accurate assessment of the results. The issue ended up not being related to the switch itself and now the networking is working wonderfully. I would highly suggest giving these switches a try, great combination of good hardware and amazing support.

GBGreat Team, Great Tech I work at a robotics company and we are always looking to improve our products. We tested the SwitchBlox and GigaBlox switches from the team at BotBlox. Now we ship products with these switches integrated (industrial automation solutions). We had a 20x space saving (and associated weight saving) with no reduction in switch performance. Looking forward to seeing what the team release next. Josh and Matt are awesome to work with. A great team - with great tech.

AUGreat small gigabit switch for robotics! The GigaBlox Nano is a great small ethernet switch we have used successfully in multiple robotics projects! Highly recommended when you're short of space and need to maximise bandwidth. Great product and customer support from BotBlox!

GBGigablox Nano I was in charge of designing in the Gigablox Nano board into our robotics system. Worked the first time, the experience was great overall and the board seems to be well engineered. The BotBlox team was very supportive throughout the process. Botblox helped solve our problem of miniaturizing the network infrastructure.
