BREA, Calif. — Antaira Technologies, a global leading developer and manufacturer of industrial networking devices and communication solutions for harsh environment applications, announces the expansion of its industrial networking infrastructure family with the introduction of the LMP-1802G-SFP and LMX-1802G-SFP Series.
Antaira’s LMP-1802G-SFP and LMX-1802G-SFP Series are industrial-grade equipment that is Ethernet-ready to fulfill various markets’ edge-level networking applications in harsh and outdoor environments, such as manufacturing automation, security surveillance, power/utility, water wastewater treatment plants, oil/gas/mining and transportation, according to the company.
These devices support high-density Ethernet port connectivity, wide bandwidth and long distance data transmission.
The LMX-1802G-SFP Series is well-suited for campus ring solutions with its two fiber-optic ports supporting an open standard ring technology (ERPS). There are many proprietary ring technologies available but using an open standard like ERPS means that it is possible to have equipment from different manufacturers working together in the ring, according to the company.
For example, campuses have networking rings consisting of hardened and industrial switches for outdoor environments that require a wide temperature-rated device. These outdoor devices are able to communicate and send critical information back to an enterprise switch at a datacenter.
Antaira’s LMP-1802G-SFP Series provides a large number of PoE ports (30 Watts) for high-density security applications, as well as fiber-optic interfaces for long range connectivity that is 3 feet to over 60 miles.
Antaira says the SFP port will not only allow connectivity beyond the 100 meter/300-foot limitation of copper cable but also permits connectivity through areas where electromagnetic interference may cause issues such as on a factory floor.
The Antaira management software on these switches can help monitor, react and troubleshoot applications with features such as SNMP traps, Syslog and port mirroring.
