Industrial networks operate in extreme conditions, requiring reliable connectivity in places where traditional networking fails. Outdoor and harsh environments, such as transportation systems, energy grids, and industrial facilities, demand networking solutions that withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations, and exposure to dust and moisture.
EtherWAN, a leader in industrial Ethernet solutions, delivers ruggedized networking products designed to guarantee uninterrupted performance in these demanding conditions.
Why EtherWAN is Built for Extreme Environments
EtherWAN specializes in industrial-grade networking solutions that offer high durability, seamless connectivity, and advanced security. These solutions cater to industries where traditional networking equipment cannot function efficiently.
Ruggedized Industrial Switches
EtherWAN designs industrial Ethernet switches to withstand extreme environmental conditions. With hardened enclosures, these switches maintain network stability in outdoor and industrial settings, operating in harsh temperatures.
- Resist Vibration and Shock: Railway networks and automated manufacturing generate constant vibrations that can damage standard networking equipment. EtherWAN builds its switches to meet industry standards for shock and vibration resistance, making them ideal for mobile and high-impact environments.
- Block Water and Dust: EtherWAN equips its switches with IP-rated enclosures that protect against water, dust, and other contaminants. This durability guarantees reliable performance in outdoor deployments, such as smart city infrastructure and surveillance networks.
Advanced Power over Ethernet (PoE)
EtherWAN’s PoE solutions provide power and data over a single cable, reducing installation complexity and maintenance costs. This is particularly useful for applications like security cameras, wireless access points, and roadside sensors.
- Long-Distance PoE: Traditional PoE solutions have distance limitations, but EtherWAN’s extended PoE technology enables power transmission up to 820 feet, making it suitable for large-scale deployments.
- Intelligent Power Management: Advanced PoE switches automatically adjust power levels to prevent overload, ensuring stable operation in remote locations.
Reliable Connectivity for Critical Applications
Network downtime in industrial environments leads to operational delays and financial losses. EtherWAN’s solutions integrate redundancy mechanisms to make sure uninterrupted connectivity.
- Rapid Ring Recovery: EtherWAN’s switches use rapid self-healing technology, recovering from network failures within milliseconds. This is required for applications such as railway signaling and emergency response systems.
- Fiber Optic Connectivity: Industrial sites often require long-distance networking. EtherWAN’s fiber solutions deliver high-speed data transmission over extended distances, guaranteeing minimal signal loss.
