ADTRAN Inc., a provider of network access equipment, said today it has added its new, all-in-one Power over Ethernet (PoE) NetVanta series switch routers and standards-based (802.3af) PoE functionality to its line of Ethernet switches.
The company says the products eliminate the need for external power sources for applications such as VoIP, and provide power to LAN devices such as IP phones, wireless access points and security cameras.
The NetVanta 1000 Series switch routers combine a 24-port managed Ethernet switch, an IP access router, an inspection firewall, and optional VPN and dial backup capabilities. The NetVanta 1224R and 1224R PoE combine the 1000’s functionality into a single 1U rackmount platform, designed for businesses needing converged WAN/LAN, branch office or multisite connectivity. For high-speed server access, uplink or stacking requirements, the NetVanta 1224STR and NetVanta 1224STR PoE add integral Gigabit Ethernet ports.
ADTRAN also says its four other new products – the NetVanta 1224R PoE and NetVanta 1224STR PoE switch-routers, and NetVanta 1224 PoE and NetVanta 1224ST PoE Ethernet switches – simplify network planning by providing full power for all 24 ports, up to 15.4 watts per port.
The company says its list prices are up to 50 percent lower than competing products.
