Muscat Automation provides the highest quality industrial Managed Ethernet Switches in Oman. We are partnered with companies like Advantech, Redlion and Belden, which provide the best managed network switches and many other unique products.
Why Are Managed PoE Switches Better?
Managed PoE Switches are almost always necessary in larger businesses due to their sheer benefit. These switches allow significant control over the internet traffic in the work environment. The choice of purchasing usually evolves into considering the idea of Managed vs Unmanaged Switches, so these are the reasons why you should consider a managed switch instead of an unmanaged –
1. Network Control
Granular configuration: Adjust settings for individual ports, VLANs, and other network parameters. Traffic prioritisation: Implement QoS to ensure critical applications get the necessary bandwidth. Performance monitoring: Track network health and identify bottlenecks.
2. Enhanced Security
VLAN segmentation: Isolate sensitive data and prevent unauthorised access. Access control lists (ACLs): Filter traffic based on source, destination, and other criteria. Port security: Limit access to network devices to authorised users.
3. Scalability
Flexible port configurations: Adapt to changing network needs. Link aggregation: Increase bandwidth and redundancy. Stacking: Combine multiple switches for larger deployments.
4. Firmware Updates
Remote management: Update switch software without physical access. Security patches: Apply critical security fixes to protect your network. Feature enhancements: Benefit from new capabilities and bug fixes.
Types of Managed Ethernet Switches We Offer
TSN Switches
They are developed to synchronise network traffic with accurate timing; hence, they are very critical in low-latency, high-reliability applications. They realise deterministic communication and thus find application in industrial automation, audio and video streaming, among other real-time systems. They are used in –
Industrial Automation: Controls robotic arms, conveyor systems, and other types of machinery with accurate timing.
PoE Switches
PoE switches power devices via Ethernet Cable, eliminating the need for any additional power outlets. This makes the installation of a network much easier. They are used in –
CCTV Systems: Power supply to IP cameras with no need for extra power cables.
VoIP Networks: Powers IP phones.
Wireless Networks: Powers wireless access points.
PoE+ Switches
PoE+ switches have more power in their output, thus making them support devices that require more power. Hence, they are used with PTZ cameras, wireless access points of higher power consumption, and other network devices with high power consumption. They are used in –
Surveillance systems: They power high-performance PTZ cameras.
Wireless: Powering high-power wireless access points to ensure extended coverage.
Digital Signage: Displays and media players.
