Production machines, CCTV and the office LAN grew into one flat network over the years. One infected notebook can reach a PLC, and when a line stops nobody can prove whether it was the network. You need segmentation and reliability without re-cabling the plant.
WHAT YOU WILL HAVE AT THE END
OT, CCTV and office traffic separated into enforced zones
PoE++ to every camera and sensor from industrial-grade access switches
Redundant paths on the factory backbone — a single link failure stops nothing
One monitored view of the plant network with alerting
Documented zone model your auditors and insurers can read

PROVEN IN THE FIELD
Edgecore switching runs multi-site operations and secure public-sector networks in the field. Photon State designs and delivers this solution in Thailand on the same platform.
RT-Mart (hypermarket chain)
TAIWAN · 2022
Hypermarket chain RT-Mart moved its store networking to Edgecore APs and switches managed through ecCLOUD, supporting mobile inventory tools, self-checkout, and guest Wi-Fi across the shop floor. The rollout covers 20 branches in Taiwan with over 600 devices administered from the single cloud console.
Lang Son Province's telecommunications department modernized the network linking its government departments, city hospitals, and border gates with Edgecore L2/L3 access and aggregation switches supplied through local partners. The upgrade connected public-sector sites for data sharing as the province pushed up Vietnam's ICT rankings.

QUESTIONS BUYERS ASK
Will segmentation break our SCADA?
Zones are designed from a traffic audit of what actually talks to what; SCADA flows are whitelisted explicitly before enforcement is switched on.
Can this run on DC power in the plant room?
Yes — DC-input models are specified where the environment requires them (e.g. ECS4530-54CSFP-DC-I).
NBTC / FDA / safety certifications?
Regulatory conformity per model is confirmed and documented in the BOM as part of TOR support.
What downtime should we budget?
Cutovers land inside your stated maintenance windows; the migration plan names each window and its rollback.
Existing Hikvision/Dahua cameras?
The network layer is camera-vendor-neutral; PoE budgets and VLANs are designed around your installed base.
Who do we call at 2 a.m.?
Photon State support under your tier; hardware replacement paths are stated in hours, per tier, in the contract.
