Antaira Joins Security Industry Association
Antaira brings four patents designed for global security solutions providers to its Security Industry Association membership.
LAS VEGAS — Industrial networking and communications solutions developer and manufacturer Antaira Technologies recently joined the Security Industry Association (SIA), according to a joint announcement.
“We are consistently looking for ways to deepen our industry involvement, and backing SIA is a key part of that mission,” says Joe Cook, national sales manager, security and transportation, for Antaira’s global headquarters.
“Antaira global offices including Europe and Taiwan support applications in security, transportation, education, correctional facilities, water wastewater, oil and gas, energy, government, mobile trailers and solar installations,” he says in the joint announcement.
Antaira “brings technology advancement to industrial networking and has a strong focus to provide high power IEEE 802.3bt PoE solutions to market” with four patents designed for global security solutions providers:
1. Safe PoE Disable is a hardware safety feature where network engineers can easily turn on/off power to a single PoE port using the front panel DIP switch on an industrial managed or industrial unmanaged Antaira 802.3bt PoE++ switch powering up to 90W per port. Disabling the PoE port for a high powered device adds a further level of protection when disconnecting the device while the port is still providing high power PoE.
2. Persistent PoE is designed into Antaira managed 802.3bt PoE++ switches. This firmware feature provides powered devices with uninterrupted PoE power, keeping the network stable while securely capturing critical moments in the event of a firmware upgrade or switch reboot.
3. Power Remote Reset Technology (PRRT) allows security solutions providers to remotely reboot and reset a connected powered device from an Antaira unmanaged 802.3bt PoE++ switch or media converter. PRRT is especially valuable for installs supporting a large geographical area with remotely connected devices.
4. iPoE Budget Control is a patented technology that prevents devices from overrunning a PoE budget. This feature is implemented on the LNP-C501G-SFP-bt-24-T unmanaged PoE switch. On a standard industrial PoE switch, powered by the 48~55VDC power, there is a single PoE power budget.
Why Antaira Joined Security Industry Association
Antaira’s low-voltage industrial PoE switch can be powered from as low as 9VDC up to 55VDC. If the PoE budget is overrun, the industrial Ethernet switch will turn off the port. iPoE Budget Control dynamically changes the set power budget of the switch based upon the input voltage being supplied.
SIA represents thousands of security decision-makers from more than 1,500 member companies. SIA advocates for pro-security industry policies and legislation at the federal and state levels on behalf of its members, working to create open industry standards that enable integration, advance the industry through education, and increase access to global market opportunities.
Participation in and support of SIA extends Antaira’s reach into the $38 billion North American physical security market. It also “demonstrates the company’s unwavering commitment to keeping security integrators and installers ahead of the curve in the rapidly evolving world of Ethernet-based video surveillance and access control systems,” according to the joint announcement.
Antaira’s competitive portfolio of industrial-grade managed and unmanaged PoE Ethernet switches, media converters, and wireless solutions thrive in demanding applications including campus security, remote surveillance, access control and mobile surveillance.
