In sectors like utilities, transportation and manufacturing, network infrastructure plays a critical role in keeping operations running smoothly. These environments demand more than standard IT equipment, they require industrial-grade networking solutions that are dependable, adaptable and built to last.

Switchshop has partnered with Allied Telesis to deliver high-performance industrial networking solutions that meet the challenges of operational technology (OT) environments, without compromising on manageability or enterprise features.

 

Industrial Switches That Perform Under Pressure

 

Allied Telesis’ industrial switches are designed for harsh conditions, from fluctuating temperatures and high-vibration settings to dust and moisture.

Key capabilities include:

  • Rugged design for reliability in challenging industrial conditions
  • PoE++ support (60W/90W) to power high-demand devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points
  • Certified for use across OT sectors including transport, energy and critical infrastructure
  • Fan-less operation and hardened components to minimise points of failure

 

 

Unified Management for Enterprise and Industrial Networks

 

Unlike most vendors, Allied Telesis offers both enterprise and industrial switches, all managed under a single operating system and a centralised platform.

This unified approach reduces complexity, streamlines support and configuration and allows for consistent policy management across all sites, from the data centre to the factory floor.

 

Vista Manager: One Platform for Total Visibility

 

Vista Manager provides centralised monitoring across your entire wired and wireless network, including both industrial and enterprise-grade devices.

With features like topology views, performance monitoring and automated configuration tools, Vista Manager makes it easier to maintain network health and security, even in distributed or complex environments.

 

Long-Term Value with Low Total Cost of Ownership

 

Allied Telesis hardware is renowned for reliability and longevity, backed by the precision engineering expected from a Japanese manufacturer. Combined with low ongoing operations costs and features like continuous PoE and dynamic PoE allocation, their solutions offer excellent return on investment.
