EtherWAN's Ethernet Extenders remove the standard 100-meter limit of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet, and use existing cable infrastructure such as phone wire, twisted pair or coaxial cable to economically connect remote or separated networks.

Engineered to operate in extreme temperatures from -40 to 75°C (-40 to 167°F), hardened manage switches are ideal for critical applications such as outdoor surveillance, traffic control systems, and industrial automation. Equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, these switches provide consistent power to remote devices through the data cable. The switches also offer advanced Ethernet management features, along with the redundancy and security necessary for essential operations. In backbone and central network layers, Layer 3 hardened managed switches facilitate routing between sub-networks, supporting static routes, RIP V1/2, and VRRP. Additionally, redundant input power options (both AC and DC) maximize uptime.

These switches feature advanced management capabilities and abundant SFP slots for seamless integration into the core network. They boast high port density and exceptional PoE performance, with select models supporting up to 60 W per port, which is ideal for extensive camera and device deployments. Offering reliable, long-term Layer 2 switching, they establish a resilient network backbone suitable for diverse commercial environments such as offices, surveillance centers, campuses, and industrial automation systems.

Available in rack-mount and desktop form factors, commercial unmanaged switches are an economical way for small and medium businesses to reap the benefits of IP networks while providing Gigabit PoE connectivity.

For smaller networks and for certain dedicated applications, hardened unmanaged switches are an economical alternative to managed and web-smart devices. Unmanaged switches support full duplex operation and IEEE 802.3x flow control and are often used in daisy-chain or Alpha-chain applications.

Media converters serve as a bridge between fiber-optic and copper media. Options include single-mode, multimode, and WDM (wavelength-division multiplexing) fiber-optic and 10/100/1000 Mbps copper media, allowing for stable and high-speed connection of geographically distant LANs.

In applications that require a specialized solution, such as providing connectivity to edge devices, EtherWAN's PoE Extenders, injectors, and all-in-one camera connectivity solutions increase the efficiency of your network while reducing money and time spent on projects.

EtherWAN's wireless solutions provide powerful options for both networking experts and novices alike. From plug-and-play wireless bridge kits to advanced wireless access points loaded with a suite of security and management features, all of the wireless products are tested for stable transmission in a wide range of environments and situations – providing dependable and high-speed performance demanded by critical network applications. In addition to the wireless solutions, EtherWAN's 4G LTE routers with cloud device monitoring provide ease of use backup connectivity.

Capable of operating in extreme temperatures from -40 to 75°C (-40 to 167°F), EtherWAN's hardened NEMA TS2 power supplies are one of the few on the market that do not derate in extreme temperatures, providing reliable power transmission regardless of their environment. Designed to be easily mounted on a DIN rail, EtherWAN's power supplies are perfect for use with its hardened switches, media converters, and more.

In today's network environment, a power surge is not limited to the power source coming from the wall outlet; there are also other factors to consider. Power surges coming through the Ethernet cable can be fatal to valuable network equipment. Designed for harsh environments, EtherWAN's surge protection safeguards your valuable network equipment.

EtherWAN provides a variety of accessory products to support your connectivity solutions.
