Connectivity

Industrial Ethernet network infrastructure purpose-built to move process-measurement data reliably, securely, and in real time, from the instrument to the control room, the historian, and the cloud.

The Challenge

Mining Environments Are Hard on Networks

Process intelligence generates continuous, high-value measurement data. But that data is only useful if it reaches the control room, historian, and analytics systems reliably. Mining environments, with dust, vibration, electromagnetic interference, long physical distances, and demanding cybersecurity expectations, present infrastructure challenges that consumer and commercial networking cannot reliably address.

Larch Networks provides Marvell-based industrial Ethernet switches running Hardened SONiC, engineered for the precision, security, and continuous-uptime requirements of operational technology (OT) networks in mineral processing and adjacent natural-resource industries.

Connectivity Partner
Larch Networks

Larch Networks moves field measurement data from sensor to decision, from the instrument at the edge through plant-wide aggregation to a site-wide backbone, with the precise timing, built-in cybersecurity, and remote management that mission-critical operations require.

Larch Networks — Tailor-made Network Software and Hardware Development

Infrastructure Capabilities

Industrial-Grade. Mining-Calibrated.

Sensor Edge — PoE++

A single cable both powers and connects each instrument at the sensor level, with no separate power wiring required. These edge switches link instruments back to the plant network over high-speed connections.

Plant Aggregation

At the control room, data from every sensor is brought together and fed into your existing SCADA, DCS, and historian systems, with the precise time synchronization that process control and reporting require.

Site Backbone — Falcon

The same network architecture scales from a single site to multiple sites across your operation, on enterprise-grade switching technology that grows with you.

OT-Grade Security & Manageability

Multiple layers of network security protect data in transit, and the entire network can be monitored and managed remotely, built for the uptime mission-critical process environments demand.
