I've torn a couple apart that use a fairly easy to use chipset. But only available in commercial temperature range.
Some of the battle here is figuring out the vendors who do this type of stuff. I want to avoid switches since I want this as transparent as possible, but I might end up having to go there. I have another secret weapon in my arsenal but I'm hoping I don't have to go there since that's more software and software takes time.
