Antaira Technologies, a globally renowned developer and manufacturer of industrial networking devices and communication solutions for harsh environment applications, is proud to announce the expansion of its industrial networking family with the introduction of the LMP-2602G-SFP and LMX-2602G-SFP Series rackmount Ethernet switches.

Ethernet switches

Antaira Technologies’ LMP-2602G-SFP and LMX-2602G-SFP series are industrial-grade equipment that is Ethernet ready to fulfill various markets’ networking applications in harsh industrial environments, such as manufacturing automation, security surveillance, power/utility, water wastewater treatment plants, oil/gas/mining, and transportation. These devices support high-density Ethernet port connectivity, wide bandwidth, long-distance data transmission, and have a superb reliability factor.

Some applications require using a ring technology for complete redundant network designs. Antaira’s LMP-2602G-SFP and LMX-2602G-SFP series uses ERPS or G.8032 which features open ring architecture. This permits the use of various other Antaira switches as well as other manufactures like Cisco participating in the ring. Open standards give the network architect the flexibility to design the most efficient network without being tied to one manufacturer.

Fiber interfaces

Fiber interfaces used in both ring and non-ring applications give the ability to extend a network out past traditional buildings, across campuses, and even towns. At the same time, it can be difficult to maintain the networking equipment when they are located a far distance away. Managed switches are critical in controlling and predicting failures on the network as well as determining when and where issues reside.
