Rugged solution for transportation and industrial applications

As part of euromicron's innovation initiative, its subsidiary Microsens is
also expanding its portfolio systematically: With its Profi Line Rack
Switch, it now offers a powerful system for creating highly complex network
topologies that is suitable specifically for use in harsh environmental
conditions. Among other things, it enables the typical ring structures of
ITS (intelligent transportation system) networks to be implemented
reliably.

Frankfurt/Main, November 26, 2014 - euromicron's innovation initiative is
being put into practice rigorously: In line with the whole group's goal of
adapting its full range of network infrastructure solutions to current
market needs at all times, the euromicron subsidiary Microsens is expanding
its portfolio to include a Gigabit Ethernet switch for rack installation.
The Profi Line Rack Switch is insensitive to electromagnetic disturbances
and tolerates ambient temperatures of -40 to +75 C. That makes it
particularly suited for transportation and industrial applications under
harsh environmental conditions. Typical application areas of the new switch
include traffic control systems (intelligent transportation systems/ITS),
toll bridges on motorways, camera systems for tunnel surveillance and
network infrastructures in heavy industry and mining that are sensible to
failure.

The new Microsens switch impresses with its versatility and great
reliability. With its total of 25 Ethernet ports, of which up to eight can
be expanded into fiber-optic connections, and its total of 16 copper ports,
which thanks to PoE (Power over Ethernet) and PoE Plus can also supply
power to devices (such as cameras), it supports the creation of even highly
complex network topologies. For example, ring structures such as are
typical of ITS and industrial networks can be implemented quickly and
easily with the Profi Line Rack Switch. The high availability that is
vital in such topologies is ensured by a patented protective mechanism: If
a network node fails or a cable route is interrupted, the Microsens switch
automatically ensures the network is reconfigured in less than 20
milliseconds. And the recovery times are also short if the switch has to be
replaced: The operating system, firmware and configuration data are stored
on an SD card, which is then simply integrated in the new switch. You can
