Redpine Signals, Inc.
IoT Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Power Consumption
Redpine Signals vs Cypress Semiconductor, Qualcomm Tech. & Texas Instruments
Document number:
218146
Release Date:
24 Jan 2019
The ever-growing Internet of Things (IoT) relies heavily on battery power. Unlike
mobile phones and tablets, IoT devices such as doorbells, smart locks and remote
sensors cannot easily be recharged. Other devices like wearables have very small
battery sizes imposing tighter power constraints. Thus, prolonging battery life by
minimizing power consumption becomes a critical concern in IoT.
Redpine Signals commissioned Tolly to evaluate two of their IoT SoCs, the RS9116
and the RS14100 and compare their power consumption with competing IoT
offerings from Cypress Semiconductor, Qualcomm Technologies and Texas
Instruments. Tests run in an RF chamber included Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy
(BLE) scenarios and benchmarked power consumption in Wi-Fi Standby
Associated Mode, while running a secure TCP stack (with and without co-channel
traffic) and in a multi-protocol scenario using BLE.
The power consumption of the Redpine Signals solutions was dramatically lower
than the competition in every test scenario.

Document number:
217126
Release Date:
04 Oct 2017
Data center architects require high-capacity, high-performance switches
at the core of the network to provide the best application performance for
users. Dell EMC offers a complete set of data center purpose built Layer 2
and Layer 3 switches that not only provide multi-rate 10/25/40/50/100GbE
interfaces but are also part of the open networking innovation supporting
multiple Network Operating Systems (NOS) options.
Dell EMC commissioned Tolly to benchmark the overall performance, latency
and power consumption of its S4100 Switch Product family, specifically the
S4148T-ON (48x10GBASE-T) and the S4148F-ON (48xSFP+) switches. The Dell
EMC Open Networking (ON) switches provide 880Gbps of backplane
bandwidth and were tested with a full complement of 48 10GbE ports plus
four 100GbE ports with over 800MPPS of packet throughput. The systems
also support 25/40/50GbE ports.
The Dell EMC switches delivered 100% line-rate RFC2544 and 2889 Layer 2
and Layer 3 throughput running various port-pairing configurations of
10GbE and 100GbE at frame sizes of 128-bytes and greater. Tolly engineers
also benchmarked 10GbE and 100GbE Layer 2/Layer 3 latency, power
consumption, port buffering as well as route, ARP and MAC table capacities.

Competitive Performance, Power Consumption and TCO Evaluation Versus Cisco Catalyst 3750-X and Juniper EX4200 Series
Document number:
211127
Release Date:
27 Sep 2011
Enterprise-class networks are facing increasing demands for higher port- density and throughput driven by rich media applications like voice and video over IP.. Traditionally, network access layer switches delivered the port- density, fault-tolerance and scalability using either a chassis or a stack of fixed-port switches. Stackable switches, when properly architected, can offer network managers a solution that can be scaled as the needs of the network grow over time. In this report, the HP 3800 series switches were compared against Cisco’s Catalyst 3750-X and Juniper’s EX4200 series switches.
The performance of the HP meshed stacking technology used by the HP 3800 Switch Series was compared against the Cisco Catalyst 3750-X with StackWise Plus technology, and Juniper’s EX4200 switches using the Virtual Chassis stacking technology. Test results show the HP switches deliver significantly higher throughput at lower latency in both a standalone and in a four-switch stack configuration. According to HP, its new switches were designed with a large per-port buffer to deal with bursty traffic, allowing them to handle larger microbursts than the Juniper and Cisco switches.

208277
Release Date:
18 Mar 2008
Nortel commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate the Layer 2 switching performance, resiliency and ease of use delivered by the company’s chassis-based Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS) 8300 which is deployed in enterprise wiring closets, or as an aggregation or a core switch. The Nortel ERS 8300 modules tested include Switch Fabric Modules, plus 24- and 48-port GbE interface modules and a 10GbE module.
Engineers measured the performance, resiliency characteristics and power consumption of the ERS 8300 and a comparable Cisco Catalyst 4500 chassis-based switch with the maximum
allowable equivalency in module configuration. Engineers also measured resilient performance between the Nortel ERS 8300 running switch clustering and the Cisco Catalyst 4500 running High Availability (HA) solutions. Tests were conducted in January 2008.

Extreme Networks
BlackDiamond 8810 Core Switch
“Green” Evaluation of Energy Consumption vs.
Cisco Catalyst 6509 and Foundry BigIron RX-16
Document number:
208284
Release Date:
29 Feb 2008
Extreme Networks, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate the power consumption of its BlackDiamond 8810 series switch versus the power consumption
of the comparable core switches from Cisco Systems, Inc. and Foundry Networks, Inc.
Tolly Group engineers measured the total watts consumed by the Black- Diamond 8810 switch, a Cisco Catalyst 6509 and a Foundry BigIron RX- 16. Power consumption measurements were taken across more than a dozen traffic load scenarios, ranging from no load on the switch to a heavily taxed load of eight 10GbE ports and 96 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports. Tests were conducted in January 2008.

Nortel
Business Ethernet Switch BES50GE-24T PWR
SMB Switch Evaluation vs Cisco Catalyst Express 500 and HP ProCurve Switch 2626-PWR
Document number:
208271
Release Date:
27 Feb 2008
Nortel commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate its SMB-class Gigabit Ethernet LAN switch, the BES50GE, and compare it to similar entry-level “converged” offerings from
Cisco Systems, Inc. and HP ProCurve.
The baseline requirement in selecting
switches was that each provide highspeed data transfer with Gigabit Ethernet
(GbE) and be able to power VoIP phones, security cameras and wireless
Access Points (APs) via Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Neither Cisco nor HP offers a switch directly comparable to Nortel which uniquely combines GbE on all ports and PoE on half the ports. Both Cisco and HP offer SMB customers either PoE or GbE — but not both. With PoE a base requirement for convergence, the Fast Ethernet (FE) HP ProCurve 2626-PWR and Cisco Catalyst Express 500-24PC models were chosen. Tests were conducted in January 2008.

Nortel
Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 & 4500 Series
Evaluation in “Green-IT” environments vs. Cisco
Catalyst 3560G/E & 3750G/E Series & HP ProCurve 2600 Series
Document number:
208269
Release Date:
22 Jan 2008
Nortel commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate the company’s
Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS) 4550T-PWR and 4548GT-PWR with
Redundant Power Supply 15 (RPS 15), as well as the ERS 2526T-PWR and ERS
2550T-PWR to determine the price per port
for delivering PoE, switch power consumption
and heat dissipation.
Tolly Group engineers also measured the
cost to deliver full PoE (~15.4W) on all
ports simultaneously for the Nortel ERS
switches tested versus Cisco Catalyst 3560G-
48PS, 3750G-48PS, 3560E-48PD, and
3750E-48PD; and HP ProCurve 2626-PWR
and 2650-PWR switches. Tests did not focus
on the Cisco 2960 Series and HP ProCurve
2800/2900 Series since PoE was not supported
on those devices at test time.
Engineers also verified the PoE power management
tool of Nortel-only products via CLI,
Java Device Manager (JDM) and Web-based
management.
Without any external power supply attached
to the tested devices, engineers measured the
power consumption for a switch at factory
default mode to determine how much the
national average commercial electric cost
over three years of continuous operation.
Based on switch power consumption results,
engineers calculated associated cooling costs
from heat dissipation for all switches tested.
Tests were conducted in October 2007.
