Realtek Semiconductor will participate in Network X 2024 (October 08~10, 2024), an event being held in Paris, France, that will bring together over five thousand people from all over the world to include senior network infrastructure and service professionals from telcos, leading vendors, industry bodies, governments, analysts, and media to showcase the latest trending products, solutions, and services. Realtek will exhibit its highly integrated 2.5G Ethernet switch solutions and complete xPON broadband solutions to meet various bandwidth application needs.

Highly Integrated 2.5G Ethernet Switch Solution
With breakthroughs in large language model technology, generative AI has ushered in a new era of AI applications. The demand for AI applications is no longer confined to high-end cloud applications but has extended from the cloud to edge computing and is becoming increasingly widespread. Consequently, the high bandwidth requirements at the edge have become more critical. Currently, edge network speeds commonly use 1GbE. To address the growing bandwidth demands of AI applications, Realtek has developed a 2.5G Ethernet switch solution that integrates various technologies to provide 2.5GbE downstream bandwidth and 10GbE upstream bandwidth. This solution is designed to support future AI-enabled endpoint devices, such as AI PCs and AI notebooks, to meet their high bandwidth needs. Additionally, this 2.5G Ethernet switch solution can be used in Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 wireless routers, supporting high bandwidth applications to meet user demands for high bandwidth at the edge in AI applications.




Complete xPON Broadband Solution
Realtek offers a comprehensive xPON broadband solution to meet various bandwidth application needs. In addition to GE and 2.5G PON products, Realtek has also developed high-speed 10G and 25G xPON solutions to accommodate growing bandwidth demands. xPON products can be paired with Wi-Fi products, such as the 2.5G PON SoC, which supports SFU and HGU with Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7. Realtek also provides industrial-grade XGS-PON solutions that support SFU and HGU Wi-Fi 7 applications within a wider temperature range. Cortina Access, a subsidiary of Realtek, has developed XGS-PON HGU products that support various 10G interfaces. These products are equipped with a high-performance PCIe interface that also supports Wi-Fi 7 tri-band applications. In addition, Cortina Access has introduced a 25G PON ONU solution based on the 25GS-PON Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) specification. This advanced solution provides operators with unprecedented fiber access connectivity at 25G rates, thereby extending the portfolio of carrier-class FTTx chipsets.

"Realtek has been deeply involved in telecom solutions for a long time", said Yee-Wei Huang, Realtek's Vice President and Spokesman. "Realtek provides high-speed broadband solutions, industrial-grade XGS-PON solutions, and high bandwidth applications to meet user demands for high bandwidth at the edge in AI applications".

It'll be like their motherboard ethernet ports.

Disconnects, slow startups, ping increases.
Heck, you'll find people give you best settings for it.

When it comes to 2.5Gbps they are lightyears better than crappy 225 and 226 series that Intel produced(very much inline with their failing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs).

Sorry, but you're stuck in the past.
This is now how Intel 2.5 Gbps Ethernet behaves, whereas Realtek is working as it should.
Also, there has been no reported issues with Realtek's previous generation of 2.5 Gbps switch ICs.

Dude I literally have a Realtek 2.5 ethernet port "Realtek Gaming 2.5GbE Family Controller" in the aorus z690 elite ax ddr4 motherboard.

Its shit, to the point i'm using wifi instead of it.
1. It takes a long time every time I boot to startup (~40s)
2. it disconnects infrequently but once it happens it starts happening frequently.

Honestly at first I thought it was my router that was the issue so i switched it, and the issue persisted. Then I noticed only my pc is the one with the issue all other devices that connect dont have that issue and all of those devices connect wirelessly (except the nas which connects to ethernet too but intel 10gbit one and doesn't have issues). So I connected via wifi and no longer have any issues with it (heck even more stable ping, but then again i'm literally 20cm away from the router)

You seem to be the one exception then, as for everyone else, it works a lot better than Intel's POS 2.5 Gbps chips that disconnects all the time.
If you look online, you'll find thousands of complaints for both generations and all revisions.
