Cost reduction by finding an off-the-shelf 16-port fast Ethernet switch (not a gigabit switch). Switch should be SIMILAR to a 16-port switch made by Netgear.
The switches should be no bigger than 3' by 8' by 1'. Strongly prefer to have automatic power switching of 100-220V.
Target Price: Lowest bidder on the solution wins the bid; Pricing and cost-effectiveness are the key considerations.
Quantity: First time try-out at 100-1000 pieces to start.
Time: The buyer would like to choose a vendor during January 3-6, 2006 And receive evaluations to arrive by mid-January.
