The prices are quite high if compared to ubiquiti switches that has been around for a while. Considering this isnt new technology, are the switch chips produced by trendnet or someone else?

Prices are high - all around - but devices like this are interesting for small/medium enterprises...

Not many people need a 48-port managed switch....
