Allied Telesis, a provider of connectivity solutions and intelligent networking tools, has recently launched its x530-28GSX full fibre switch. This new addition to the company’s x530 Series of multi-gigabit switches offers enhanced flexibility and network optimisation.
The x530-28GSX switch, which has been in development for several months, is a 24-port 100/1000X SFP stackable switch with 4 SFP+ ports and 2 fixed power supplies. It can aggregate a 24×1 Gigabit fibre link to a 4×10 Gigabit fibre link, and up to 8 units can be stacked using Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack™) to build a 192 Gigabit fibre aggregator. The switch also supports copper connectivity via SFP/SFP+ ports, providing maximum flexibility for both copper and fibre as needed.
The x530-28GSX allows for the addition of bandwidth using either copper or fiber at either 1 or 10Gb/s. Its high resiliency makes it suitable for various large site markets such as education campuses, FTTx deployments, utilities, and city-wide metro networks. Furthermore, it can be used in dense fibre-only networks such as defense and Critical National Infrastructure (CNI), reducing the chances of a cyber-attack on the attached passive infrastructure.
Allied Telesis will be showcasing its offerings at The Security Event in Birmingham (#5/P95).
The company prides itself on designing and manufacturing networking solutions to Japanese build-quality standards in its own facilities. Its extensive range of security solutions includes enterprise and industrial switches, firewalls, wireless, and conversion products.
Chris Dyke, Sales Director UK & Ireland at Allied Telesis, highlighted that in today’s world where companies are increasingly adopting flexible work arrangements like work-from-home, hot-desking, and BYOD, securing the work environment and protecting digital assets from internal and external threats can be challenging. He suggested that Allied Telesis is the go-to choice for businesses and organisations seeking to enhance their security.
