Netzelektronik
Netzelektronik is a field of electronics and hardware design focused on systems that enable networked communication and data processing. It covers the integration of processing, memory, interfaces, and firmware to support data exchange across digital networks. The scope includes devices such as routers, switches, gateways, network interface cards, and embedded modules in both consumer and industrial equipment. Netzelektronik emphasizes high-speed data paths, low latency, reliability, and energy efficiency, often within constrained form factors and thermal budgets.
Key technologies in Netzelektronik encompass network processors and network processing units, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and
Development in this field typically follows a hardware–software co-design approach, with emphasis on security, fault tolerance,
Applications of Netzelektronik include core and access network equipment, data-center networking accelerators, edge gateways for Internet
