Industrial networks, spanning automation systems, video surveillance, transportation infrastructure, and energy facilities, demand significantly more robust networking equipment than typical office setups. Antaira delivers a wide range of industrial networking solutions, including switches, media converters, PoE injectors, and device servers, engineered specifically for applications requiring high reliability, environmental durability, and flexible power and connectivity options.

Antaira products are designed to address scenarios such as:

  • Remote installations that need Power over Ethernet (PoE) to supply devices while maintaining high data throughput.
  • Networks incorporating fiber optic segments, where media converters or SFP-enabled equipment enable long-distance connectivity.
  • Industrial automation setups that integrate legacy serial devices (RS-232/422/485) into Ethernet networks.
  • Complex industrial environments requiring ring topologies, surge protection, extended temperature ranges, and DIN rail or wall-mount installation.

Key strengths of Antaira devices include compliance with industry standards (such as IEEE 802.3 af/at/bt for PoE), wide input voltage tolerances, resistance to shock and vibration, flexible mounting options, and SFP module compatibility. These features make Antaira equipment an excellent choice for system integrators and industrial network designers, providing stable connections for cameras, access points, sensors, PLCs, SCADA systems, and serial devices in harsh environments.

The INJ-C201G-bt-100-24-T and INJ-C201G-bt-100-T PoE injectors are perfect for situations where high-power PoE++ devices need to be powered, but the main switch lacks PoE capability. Each injector can deliver up to 100 W per port, making them ideal for powering PTZ cameras, Wi-Fi access points, or LiDAR devices.

Both models support Gigabit data rates, comply with IEEE 802.3 bt, offer DIN rail or wall mounting, are IP30 rated, and function in temperatures ranging from −40 °C to +75 °C. They are suitable for industrial environments, outdoor applications, and transport hubs that require high-power PoE.

LMP-1002G-SFP / LMP-1002G-SFP-T

The LMP-1002G-SFP series and its temperature-hardened counterpart LMP-1002G-SFP-T are managed PoE switches featuring 8x 10/100/1000Tx ports and 2 SFP slots with PoE+ support of up to 30 W per port.

Highlights include:

  • Layer 3 Lite management, VLAN configuration, QoS, IGMP snooping
  • ITU-T G.8032 ERPS ring protocol for sub-50 ms recovery
  • Secure management via HTTPS, SSH, and SSL
  • IP30 rated housing, DIN rail mounting, and extended temperature range for the “-T” model (−40…+75 °C)

These switches are ideal for environments requiring managed PoE networks, such as video surveillance systems with redundancy, industrial automation, or SCADA networks.

EMC-0201G-SFP

The EMC-0201G-SFP is a compact industrial media converter that transforms Gigabit copper Ethernet into fiber via SFP modules.

Key features:

  • 10/100/1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX conversion
  • Jumbo frame support (up to 9K)
  • IP30 housing suitable for DIN rail installation

It is designed for extending network reach via optical links, integrating fiber into existing copper networks, and connecting remote nodes over distances spanning several kilometers. Selection criteria include fiber type (single- or multi-mode), required distance, and environmental conditions.

IMC-C1000-SFP
