Managed Hardened Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ and
PoE++ Switches Approved for Sale and Installation in Florida
Transportation System Projects
Transition Networks, a leading provider of IoT and edge
connectivity solutions, today announced its Managed Hardened
Gigabit Ethernet Power over Ethernet + (PoE+) and PoE++ switches
have been approved by the Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) for sale and installation within the state for use in
transportation system projects. This approval also permits all
other Florida state and local government agencies to use Transition
Networks managed ethernet switch products within their
networks.
In Florida, any vendor that wants to sell or install a
transportation device within the state must follow the Florida DOT
extensive approval process. Certification ensures the state can
maintain safe and efficient transportation systems on its streets
and highways.
To achieve approval, a vendor must undergo an evaluation of
their internal quality system based on the ISO 9001 standard, which
is followed by a product evaluation. Successful applicants have
their product listed on the Florida DOT Approved Product List
(APL).
As part of the product evaluation, the Transition Networks
switches must comply with several requirements. This includes
deploying strong three-factor authentication, secure file transfer
protocols (SFTP), robust Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
and multicast for powering over Ethernet (PoE) various high-speed
real-time video streaming applications and devices. Other criteria
the switches passed included the ability to provide 99.999%
error-free operation and meet the National Electrical Manufacturers
Association (NEMA) TS2 standard for traffic control assemblies to
ensure high network reliability. Transition Networks also submitted
detailed manufacturing and quality control facility documentation
to confirm compliance with the John S. McCain National Defense
Authorization Act (NDAA).
“This approval by the Florida Department of Transportation is
another proof point of the strong capabilities of our PoE+ and
PoE++ switches in providing the connectivity and power necessary
for helping states implement new intelligent transportation systems
and smart city initiatives,” said Glenn Buck, Manager of Solution
Engineering, Transition Networks. “We are pleased to be listed on
the Florida DOT Approved Product List and look forward to providing
key solutions that further their transit goals.”
Transition Networks switches that have achieved listing on the
Florida DOT APL include:
- 4-Port Managed Hardened Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Switch
(SISPM1040-362-LRT): Provides (4) 10/100/1000Base-T PoE+ ports
with (2) 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 + (2) 100/1000Base-X SFP slots.
The switch can supply up to 30 Watts per port on all (4) PoE ports
simultaneously and is certified to operate reliably in harsh
environments, including outdoor enclosures.
- 8-Port Managed Hardened Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Switch
(SISPM1040-384-LRT-C): Provides (8) 10/100/1000Base-T PoE+
Ports with (4) 100/1000Base-X SFP slots. This temperature hardened
switch can connect and provide up to 30 Watts of power for as many
as eight devices simultaneously in outdoor environments.
- 8-Port Managed Hardened Gigabit Ethernet PoE++ Switch
(SISPM1040-582-LRT): Provides (8) 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE++ ports
with (2) 100/1000 Mbps dual-speed SFP slots. The switch can supply
up to 90 Watts per port on (4) ports or 60 Watts per port on (8)
ports simultaneously. The switch is optimized for smart building
technology deployment and is the industry’s first plenum-rated, UL
2043 and UL 2108 certified PoE++ switch for PoE smart lighting
systems.
Each of the switches listed above includes Device Management
System (DMS) software, which automatically creates an interactive
map that shows all connected devices. The software also provides
the ability to log into those devices directly from the switch,
allowing the user to identify network issues and reduce downtime
quickly. Additionally, Transition Networks switches are TAA
compliant.
Transition Networks continues to achieve success in the
transportation sector. In 2019, the company began work on a
significant intelligent transportation project with New York City’s
Department of Transportation.
