AMG Systems have been manufacturing transmission hardware in the UK for over 25 years. New from the firm is the AMG570 Series. The AMG570 provides 100Mbps, Gigabit and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet switching for industrial (working in temperatures of minus 40 to 75 degrees C) network applications. The products come with 8x RJ45 Gigabit ports supporting optional 30/60/90W PoE and 3x 100Mb, 1Gb and 2.5Gb SFP ports. The software has been developed in-house by AMG engineers in the UK.
With options for DIN rail or wall mount housing, the AMG570 has an IP40 rated thermal enclosure design enabling it to dissipate heat more effectively at high temperatures, for reliability even when under full PoE load in extreme uses, the makers say.
The product supports a range of management functions including Rapid and Multiple Spanning Tree as well as Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) protocols for network redundancy. The series comes with a suite of the latest security features, and IGMP functionality is supported, enabling multi-cast traffic as is commonly used in IP CCTV deployments.
Where other suppliers may have critical operational software written by others, AMG stresses it’s designed and manufactured the complete solution, through their internal UK and USA hardware and software engineering teams. Technical Director Tom Exley says: ‘To be able to offer our customers a fully secure network solution, we expanded our UK manufacturing facilities and invested further in our hardware and software engineering teams. This gives us the ability to ensure relevant legislation is met when working on high security projects.’
AMG supplies a lifetime technical support warranty on their full industrial product range. Customers can call AMG on +44 (0)1767 600 777, email: [email protected], or visit www.amgsystems.com.
