Antaira Showcases High-Power PoE and Layer 3 Networking at GSX 2026

Antaira Technologies will exhibit its expanded portfolio of Layer 3 managed Ethernet switches, high-power Power over Ethernet (PoE) solutions, and wireless networking products at GSX 2026. Developed to meet the escalating power and bandwidth requirements of modern security infrastructure, the new networking hardware can deliver up to 100W of PoE++ per port to support high-performance IP cameras, wireless radios, and sensors at the network edge.

A primary focus of the exhibition will be Antaira's wide-temperature Layer 3 distribution switches, such as the new LMP-3228G-4X24S-bt-T model, which offers 100W per port and integrates dynamic routing protocols (OSPF, RIP) alongside VRRP for automated gateway failover. The company will also highlight its LANOBOX Series, a line of deployment-ready, IP68-rated NEMA 4X outdoor enclosures that combine a ruggedized switch, an industrial power supply, and 20kA surge protection into a single unit. Additionally, Antaira will demonstrate its AIROLINX-GOMAX-KIT-IP67-T preconfigured outdoor wireless bridge kit for secure, high-speed point-to-point campus connectivity, all of which can be centrally monitored via the A.NMS Network Management Suite.

Additional Context
This section provides technological and market background not explicitly detailed in the original release.

The physical security industry is undergoing a significant transition as edge devices become increasingly sophisticated. Modern pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) surveillance cameras with integrated infrared illumination and internal heaters, alongside next-generation Wi-Fi 7 access points, demand power levels that far exceed the 30-watt limit of standard PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at). The adoption of IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) allows switches to deliver up to 90W or 100W over a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the costly need to run dedicated electrical wiring to remote outdoor locations. However, injecting this much DC power generates substantial heat, requiring industrial switches to employ advanced thermal engineering to survive extreme operating temperatures (up to 75°C) without the use of internal cooling fans. Furthermore, pushing Layer 3 routing capabilities down to the distribution layer allows large-scale security networks to be segmented into subnets, mitigating broadcast storm congestion and improving overall cybersecurity resilience.
