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.

Infrastructure Capabilities

Industrial-Grade. Mining-Calibrated.

Sensor Edge — PoE++

A single cable both powers and connects each instrument at the sensor level — 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.
