award-winning Alpine 3800
chassis switches support the scalability, flexibility,
security and management features required to
build complete enterprise networks, including
large campuses, branch offices, data centers and
wiring closets. Alpine 3800 series switches enable
enterprise networks to adopt new technologies,
such as wireless and VoIP, by offering intelligent
security and availability features to keep network
convergence simple and manageable.
Providing advanced availability, scalability and
management features, Alpine 3800 series switch-
es are ideally suited for service providers and
metropolitan area networks.
Alpine 3800 series switches support a wide
offering of high-performance Ethernet connec-
tions including standard Category 5, fiber optic
media, legacy WAN, and PoE. With the flexibility
and scalability of a modular chassis, Alpine
switches provide a complete solution for Ethernet
network connectivity.
Target Applications
Highly available, simple converged networks
supporting VoIP and wireless applications.
Server farms with high density 10/100 and
gigabit traffic control requirements.
Gigabit metro Ethernet networks with
requirements for VPN and Telco WAN links
to interconnect enterprise sites.
