Company to be Joined by Igor, Inc. to Speak on
the Role of Power over Ethernet and Smart LED Lighting Systems in
Smart Buildings and Smart Cities
Transition Networks, a leading provider of IoT and edge
connectivity solutions, today announced it will participate in the
Smart Cities Connect Conference & Expo, taking place virtually
October 27-29, 2020.
On Thursday, October 29 at 12 p.m. EDT, Transition Networks and
Igor, Inc. will jointly present “IoT Deployment in Smart Buildings
and Smart Cities, The Utility Network Emerges.” Transition Networks
Solutions Engineering Manager, Glenn Buck, and Igor, Inc. Director
of Business Development, Matt Conger, will discuss the role of
Power over Ethernet (PoE) and smart LED lighting in smart building
and smart city deployments.
The presentation will also introduce the concept of the utility
network, which is made up of non-traditional Ethernet-enabled IoT
or machine-to-machine devices that can communicate with each other,
without adding data flows or expanding the security risks to the
corporate LAN. Utility networks enable smart buildings to deliver
useful services that make occupants more productive by combining
building automation systems with IP smart LED lighting,
surveillance camera networks and other systems.
At the virtual booth Transition Networks will share how its PoE+
and PoE++ switches, are designed especially for smart cities to
help administrators simply connect, power and manage their entire
network of IoT devices.
“Interest in smart building and smart city technology continues
to grow to meet the needs of energy and sustainability goals, and
now in the face of the pandemic, businesses are increasingly
looking at how building automation systems can benefit and protect
employees and guests,” said Shadrack Laanoi, Director of Product
Management. “Power over Ethernet plays a key role in delivering the
connectivity, bandwidth and power required by the connected devices
behind smart building and smart city implementations, and we look
forward to sharing the ways that Transition Networks enables these
exciting technologies.”
Another feature that makes Transition Networks switches ready
made for smart city deployments is embedded Device Management
System (DMS) software. When a network has numerous PoE+ and PoE++
switches powering essential devices including security cameras,
computers, wireless access points, intelligent lighting, and other
switches, it’s imperative to manage them in one interface. DMS
features auto-discovery of connected devices, a map view showing
end-to-end visibility of attached devices and Auto Power Reset
(APR) to automatically reboot unresponsive devices. Together these
features provide a valuable tool to ensure lower overall cost, less
downtime, and easier management and maintenance of the entire PoE
network.
Transition Networks’ family of TAA and NDAA compliant commercial
and hardened ethernet extenders and PoE switches provide
connectivity and power designed for smart cities and buildings. To
provide a holistic view of all connected devices in a network,
Transition Networks switches easily integrate into video and
building management systems. For surveillance, Transition Networks
recently announced DMS integration into Milestone’s XProtect video
management system.
Switches featured at the booth include commercial-rated PoE+
switches for use within smart buildings (SM8TAT2SA, SM16TAT2SA,
SM24TBT2DPA) and a hardened PoE+ switch (SISPM1040-384-LRT-C) for
use in outdoor cabinets throughout smart cities.
The SISPM1040-582-LRT is the industry’s first plenum-rated, UL
2043 and UL 2108 certified PoE++ switch for PoE smart lighting
systems, ensuring the security and reliability for customers’
essential networks.
