Antaira Technologies has introduced its IMP-C1000-SFP-bt-T and IMP-C1000-SFP-bt-24-T Gigabit single-port media converters with IEEE 802.3bt 90W PoE++. Both converters give network administrators the means to interconnect long-distance fiber networks to copper-based 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet with minimum cost and complexity.

Both converters serve as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) capable of delivering an impressive 90W to PoE-complaint devices, therefore enabling the converters to accommodate power-hungry PTZ IP cameras and WAPs. Importantly, both converters extend LAN cabling distances using SFPs selectable to meet application requirements for the fiber network.

Clovity has partnered with EUCAST Global in a strategic move that will result in an "IoT network in a box" -- a fully deployable private network capability coupled with the software that can bring forward smart devices and aggregated data that is truly at the edge of a network.

Chief Strategy Officer, Chris Medina says, "We are already seeing the synergies in providing a turn-key solution that meets the needs of clients wanting to manage their smart devices remotely by placing them onto a network that is both secure and highly scalable. Our IoT software, called CSensorNet, reads data from these devices and can display analytics right from the network using our artificial intelligence and edge component of our IoT application."
