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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
