Description: WideBand Corporation was established in 1994 and has been recognized as the top producer of switches and other devices for Gigabit Ethernet. The company has manufacturing facilities in Gallatin, Missouri. Roger Billings serves as its CEO and President.

WideBand actively participated in the steering committee that developed the technologies which led to 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet. Many of the original 802.3ab technologies, such as the procedure for the evasion of data collisions, and the technique for complete duplex transmission, were designed by WideBand.

WideBand Corp. is one of the few companies which have the R&D capability to focus on high performance layout and circuit board design and the development of customized integrated circuits. It is also capable of handling the R&D for firmware, driver and software. Its facilities utilize sophisticated signal processing expertise to produce devices that can operate at gigabit data speeds over Category 3 and Category 5 cables.

WideBand’s routers and switches afford Quality of Service, including guaranteed bandwidth, prioritization and classification. These Ethernet products are perfectly suited for individual router and/or switch applications including backplane applications that provide solutions for campus, enterprise and workgroup backbone routing/switching, router interconnects from edge to core, and storage area networks.

WideBand switches have a speed of 42 million packets/ second for the edition having 28 ports, and 24 million packets/ second for the edition having 16 ports. Its wire-speed QoS is afforded via flexible programming of the Queuing, Bandwidth Distribution, and Classification mechanisms.

In effect, WideBand’s distinct matching processes are conducted on a complete group of header fields. This system provides a QoS Engine that is highly flexible with 128 distinct traffic classes. These 128 types are re-mapped to the engine tasked with bandwidth distribution to enable strict priority, Weighted Fair, Round Robin, the Weighted Fair Hashed, and Weighted Round Robin algorithms. Thus, the specified service level could be obtained at wire-speed where the management could be integrated into a flow-group, port, or sub-flow group resolution level.

WideBand’s products also offer firewall protection because its switches establish a security wall that is transparent without negatively affecting network throughput. The firewall is also capable of detecting a DoS attack. These products employ the proprietary WideBand SPU for administering the switch fabric and packet traffic. WideBand switches also have an integral capability to assess every connection and determine if Gigabit speed is possible. Incapable cables are marked with a red color in both the management software and the panel.

WideBand takes pride in having its research and manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and the Gigabit speed capabilities of its network routers and switches.
