The LAN969x family: Ethernet without compromise
The LAN969x series delivers scalable, secure, and deterministic Ethernet switching for critical infrastructure. These chips keep networks fast, predictable, and reliable under any conditions.
What you get:
Hardware-accelerated performance at scale
The LAN969x family delivers wire-speed forwarding across all ports. TACTICAL-1000 series achieves line-rate switching and routing without software bottlenecks, handling enterprise-scale networks at full speed.
Native open-source software support
Microchip's silicon works with standard Linux tools and supports switchdev integration. Teams deploy Ubuntu, OpenWrt, Yocto, or custom distributions without proprietary software constraints.
Long-term availability for critical infrastructure
The LAN969x platform supports extended operational lifecycles. No forced obsolescence. No arbitrary support windows. Your network stays current on your terms.
Partnership with Microchip
Direct access to Microchip silicon engineers means faster integration, deeper troubleshooting, and better long-term support for your deployments.
