  • Allied Telesis Strengthens IP Surveillance Solution, Simplifying the Transition from Analog-to-Digital Video Security Networks

    Published on January 13, 2011

    BANGALORE: As enterprises evolve their physical security strategies from analog to digital surveillance, Allied Telesis Inc., a global provider of secure IP/Ethernet switching solutions and an industry leader in the deployment of converged multi-play networks, announced today its enhanced IP Surveillance solution. The next generation solution delivers mission-critical network connectivity to make the analog-to-digital migration cost-effective, seamless and easy-to-deploy, all without the need to replace current cabling infrastructure.

    Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS), secure digital (SD) storage cards on the surveillance camera, the emergence of mega-pixel IP network cameras, and searchable or forensic analytics are among market-moving trends providing benefits such as the secure storage of surveillance recordings, the need for higher resolution video and the emergence of surveillance analytics to better assess security related events through data on foot traffic, face recognition, and reconstruction of events from several camera sources. The Allied Telesis IP Surveillance solution meets requirements to effectively achieve these benefits while maintaining network uptime and high availability through its redundant, resilient networking gear; yields an optimal performance backbone for greater application Quality of Service prioritization of video services; and provides secure, remote monitoring for further security assurance.

    Incorporating next generation technological advancements into its IP Surveillance solution-by adding optimized layer-2 and layer-3 switches, new media converters, and an enhanced graphical user interface (GUI)-Allied Telesis can now offer greater solution customization with lower costs, as no new wiring is required.

    “When building a solution to safeguard their people, organizations cannot take short-cuts or risks,” said Subhasish Gupta, Country Manager, India & SAARC at Allied Telesis. “That’s when system integrators and enterprises should align with solution driven vendors like Allied Telesis to deliver high-quality, IP-based video security services over Ethernet networks. Our expertise-both globally and within the country in designing and implementing converged multi-play networks coupled with our advanced IP surveillance solutions enable a seamless migration from analog to digital video security systems, allowing medium & large enterprises to better protect their critical information and employee assets.”

    Shown this week at ASIS, the Allied Telesis IP surveillance solution includes several new components-

    The AT-8000 Series access-edge switches, designed to enable SD storage and analytics of video content at the edge while cost-effectively connecting local copper devices over fiber at distances of up to 1.2 miles. This capability is ideal in IP video surveillance networks where remote cameras may be located beyond the reach of copper cabling. The AT-8000 Series also offers Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities with unique 24-port connectivity to maximize power, port, and connectivity options when adding new surveillance equipment to the network.

    The AT-9000 Series switches, the most affordable layer-2 fiber core switches in the surveillance market, received an upgrade to the AlliedWare Plus operating system. In addition, the AT-9000/28SP small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module fiber distribution switch supports both Fast Ethernet as well as Gigabit Ethernet speeds.

    AT-MC 605/606, the two latest media converters from Allied Telesis, enable greater network extension by converting existing analog phone-grade wiring into IP-ready cabling – perfect for mega-pixel IP security video streaming. Through plug-and-play deployment, enterprises can forgo the costly building integrity analysis of network resources, or the cost/need to rewire a premise with expensive Cat5 or fiber cable.

    AlliedWare™ Plus, as part of the Allied Telesis Network Operating System (Network OS), provides a common interface across all platforms to minimize training costs associated with IP video network migrations and upgrades, enabling easier support processes.

    Vertical Strengths

    The Allied Telesis IP surveillance solution is ideal for specialized markets requiring maximum uptime and optimized performance to secure a physical location, information, and/or property. This includes Industrial Grade products. For example, Allied Telesis is working with international healthcare, education, government, service provider, and utility organizations to deploy its leading IP-based video security solutions around the world. Specifically, the Company leads in deploying these solutions to global healthcare facilities for use by emergency response and security teams to ensure patient, staff, and visitor safety. Allied Telesis also recently announced its design and implementation of a real-time IP surveillance solution in the education market in the Hoxie, Arkansas, U.S. School District, in which the Company provides a single-view, remotely managed, port-based virtual local area network (VLAN) to ensure a more secure campus environment for students, faculty, and staff.

    In India, Allied Telesis has successfully deployed multiple campuses as well as city surveillance networks in various vertical spaces.
