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.

GBBespoke requirement - First class service We required a bespoke variant of Ethernet Switch to suit our product requirement. The response from BotBlox at all stages of the process, from design to final test and delivery, was first class.

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.

GBSuper compact, reliable, great service. I ordered a board and it was shipped out less than 1 hour later. I got the board in the US 2 days later which is so fast. I wanted the gigablocks nano for a compact robot arm application… The board is super tiny, more than I expected; not sure how they managed it but I’m impressed. It’s been running for over 3 months now with no issues, and the team at botblox have even supporting me in developing my own daughterboard for it.
