APS (Advanced Programmable Switches)

Background

    On August 7th, 2020, APS Networks® was founded by Alexander Jeffries, Andrew Heal & Joerg Peter Hahn, and started trading from October 2020. APS Networks® acquired the Advanced Programmable Switches (APS®) BF2556X-1T and BF6064X-T from its current product portfolio, including IP, staff and related customer base from STORDIS as part of an asset deal, forming an ideal starting ground for the company. The two APS® switches were originally launched at the 2019 OCP Global Summit in San Diego, CA, US. APS Networks® now provides support to all global customers who have acquired or a planning to acquire the APS® switches.

May 2021 Update

The Stordis datasheet has been depricated. APS now has their own datasheet. Ports 1-16 now claim to run at speeds 1, 2.5. 5 and 10 Gb/s. Not clear what this means since the ports are SFP+ and not tw-pr. No help from the list of transceivers on their web site.
