558 AMG Systems' new 9000 series of ruggedised Ethernet switches have been specifically designed for outdoor and harsh industrial environments with extended temperature requirements, including roadside cabinet mounting for transport applications. The switches support ring topologies and are claimed to offer a cost-effective networking solution without comprising on advanced functionality such as fast ring recovery (less than 20ms) and power over Ethernet. The transmission capability stretches to 40km over singlemode fibre and the products are available for extended temperature range requirements from -40° to +75° Celsius.

According to Dr. Alan Hayes, AMG Systems founder and Managing Director, "The extended transmission range is achieved through the dual-speed SFP Combo fibre
port for increased network elasticity with no performance degradation. Spanning Tree and IGMP snooping functionality are also key features and the power over Ethernet option allows for taking power, as well as data, to the edge of the network devices."

    The X-Stream series of H.264 video encoders and decoders from COE Group includes a single channel boxed encoder, and two and four channel encoders which may be box-housed or rack-mounted. The range also includes a dual-channel decoder, the X-Stream 200D, capable of decoding H.264 streaming Ethernet video for use with analogue devices. By rack mounting X-Stream encoders in a standard X-Net rack, as many as 56 channels of analogue video may be encoded and transmitted across an IP Ethernet network from each ra
