Allied Telesis’ Power over Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet WebSmart switches go green
Chiasso, Switzerland. 5 February 2010 – Allied Telesis has launched the eco-friendly versions of its AT-FS750/24POE, AT-FS750/48 and AT-GS950/48 PoE Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet WebSmart switches, offering even higher power efficiency and reliability. The products replace those of the same name, but now utilize Allied Telesis’ proprietary ECO-Switch technology, making networks more environmentally friendly.
The enhanced versions of the AT-FS750/24POE, AT-FS750/48 and AT-GS950/48 Power over Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and WebSmart switches integrate Allied Telesis’ ECO-Switch technology on the front panel allowing LEDs to be disabled when they are not in use. Additionally, ECO-Switch technology embedded in the software of the WebSmart switches turns LEDs off automatically after 15 minutes. Measure and minimize technology also ensures only the appropriate power is driven into the shorter cable lengths making the power supplies even more energy efficient.
Melvyn Wray, Senior VP of Product Marketing EMEA at Allied Telesis, commented, “Not only are our PoE, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet WebSmart switches reliable, highly functional and use significantly less power, but now they are more compact than their predecessors, meaning fewer materials are needed in the manufacturing process and less fuel is needed for shipping. These factors all contribute to carbon footprint reduction.”
Allied Telesis’ popular WebSmart switches deliver networking reliability in a cost-effective, simplistic manner, allowing IT managers to implement Web-based management features such as port-based VLANs, IEEE 802.1p QoS, port trunking/link aggregation, port mirroring, priority queues and IEEE 802.1x security support at the edge of networks where security and reliability is paramount. In addition, all the products are now either fanless or integrate a lower noise fan.
The new AT-FS750/24POE, AT-FS750/48 and AT-GS950/48 products are available from February 2010.
