Edgecore Networks introduces new switches for smart buildings, IoT-enabled venues

Edgecore Networks, a provider of traditional and open network solutions for enterprises, data centres, and telecommunication service providers, has introduced the additions to its ECS4150 enterprise switch lineup, the ECS4150-54T and ECS4150-54P, along with the ECS1100 series of PoE (power over ethernet) smart switches. These new offerings are poised to elevate performance and scalability across diverse sectors, from small and medium-sized businesses to large-scale network providers.

The ECS1100 series, including ECS1100-5P and ECS1100-10HP, represents a product line of Lite-L2 managed switches, boasting a PoE budget and surge protection, making it perfect for high-power devices and CCTV deployment. Small but complete in every detail, the ECS1100 series offers solutions with 5 to 10 ports and PoE capabilities ranging from 120W to 250W, making it the cost-effective choice in managed PoE switches for small offices, coffee shops, campuses, and more.

For those seeking high-speed connectivity, the ECS4150 series is go-to choice. The ECS4150-54T and ECS4150-54P are gigabit Ethernet access switches equipped with six 25G SFP28 uplinks, ideal as high-performance Gigabit access switches with 1 Gigabit downlinks that offer enhanced performance and capabilities for a better user experience. Tailored for ISPs (internet service providers), MSOs (multi service operators), and cloud edge access, they are also perfect for SMBs (small and midsize businesses), enterprises, and campus networks.

Feature Highlights:

  • 802.3bt high power PoE
    ECS1100-10HP and ECS4150-54P support 802.3bt PoE, enabling power to be supplied to multiple high-power devices such as access points, VoIP (voice over internet protocol) phones, surveillance cameras, IoT devices, and more.
  • Effortless PoE scheduler
    The PoE scheduler allows you to specify the amount of time that power is delivered to a PoE port, reducing power consumption, saving energy, and enabling periodic rebooting of PoE devices.
  • Intelligent PD Alive checking
    The PD-Alive checking is suitable for IP surveillance networks, it can automatically check the connection status of real-time PDs (powered devices) and re-start the PDs when the system detects network connectivity problems, ensuring hassle-free power consumption monitoring, and enhancing network reliability.
  • PoE extend mode
    The PoE extend mode provides an extended power and data delivery distance of up to 250m for PoE devices such as CCTV and IoT devices in large areas while maintaining a stable 10Mbps speed.
  • Surge protection
    Built with 6KV Ethernet port surge protection and 4KV DC input surge protection to avoid damage to the switch and connected devices, such as outdoor IP cameras, access points, and other PoE PDs connected to the network.
  • Multiple management options
    Support for multiple management options – CLI (Command Line Interface), web GUI (Graphical User Interface), SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), and Edgecore ecCLOUD. With Edgecore ecCLOUD, the IT administrator can centrally manage all Edgecore switches by bulk configuration of automatic VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) configuration and synchronisation, port security, and power management, reducing deployment time and ensuring network reliability.

“Drawing on extensive expertise in switch product design and manufacturing, Edgecore covers a diverse array of switch offerings, spanning data centres, telecom, and enterprise applications. This enables us to deliver top-notch networking solutions of the highest quality, catering to the distinctive needs of various customer profiles,” says TT Hsu, vice president of Edgecore Networks. “The ECS1100 series and ECS4150 series specifically address the high-speed network transmission demands encountered by enterprise users during application environment upgrades. These upgrades encompass Gigabit network transmission speeds, robust PoE power budgets, and more. Our primary objective is to furnish highly cost-effective Gigabit Ethernet access solutions catering to the needs of SMBs, enterprises, and campus networks.”

Availability: The Edgecore ECS1100 series is now available. The ECS4150-54T/54P will be available for order in September 2023. For more product information, please contact ecwifi_info@edge-core.com.
