The usual solutions in the networking segment are products with high power consumption and powerful cores that are responsible for the data, control and management planes making them non-efficient. With IoT getting stronger the network needs to grow faster and Edge computing is a fundamental part of this growth: high-performance, fast, fanless switching, routing and software defined networks are needed. So the key question: how to design a product that meets the current requirements of high CPU cycles, packet processing performance, speed and low-power leveraging the engineering investment for the different types of IoT connectivity products? To support this reality is exactly why the LS1046A solution was introduced to the market. The LS1046A helps engineers solve these common design challenges.
