Description: Powering Smart City Networks through Inscape Data outdoor unmanaged and managed Gigabit PoE switch Solutions.

Inscape Data is revolutionizing Smart City Networks with its innovative All-in-One-Box IP68 outdoor network systems. These include LPS UPS PoE Switches, LPS9000 Rack-Mount PoE Switch Systems, and LPS10000 Rack-Mount PoE Switch Systems. By staying at the forefront of technology, they are empowering the future of smart city networks.

As the demand for WiFi bandwidth and IP security installations grows, the smart city network market is steadily expanding.

Inscape Data, Chief Technology Officer David Lin says, “In response to the escalating demand of the market, we have released several new lines of All-in-One-Box IP68 outdoor network systems. The LPS9000 Rack Mount PoE Switch Systems support up to 78 network ports, and the LPS10000 Rack Mount PoE Switch Systems up to 144 network ports.  These new lines of high-capacity outdoor PoE switches significantly enable the system integrators and network operators to increase their network bandwidth and deployment coverage.”

Challenges galore when deploying WiFi and IP security systems: high temperatures, dust, dirt, and rain are some outdoor challenges for WiFi and IP security system deployments. However, the biggest challenge is how easily the system is installed.

These challenges are enough to wreak havoc on network power, maintenance, and reliability. Inscape Data’s All-in-One-Box, Din-Rail, and Rack Mount LinkPower™ outdoor unmanaged and managed Gigabit PoE switch Solutions are designed to address all these challenges and have been installed, tested, and proven by customers throughout the U.S. and worldwide in the last fifteen years.

Elaborating on the statement – Inscape Data's LinkPower™ total network switch solutions include Managed /Unmanaged PoE network switches, outdoor PoE switch solutions, and indoor and outdoor hi-power PoE extenders and injectors, Lin says that the basis of LinkPower™ complete network switch solutions is to offer a wide range of IP68 weatherproof enclosures and D.C. voltage solutions for different types of installation.

The installation types of outdoor network switches include pole mount, wall mount, underground, and ground installs. Inscape Data offers complete network switch solutions that meet all these installation types.

The LinkPower network switch solutions range from simple unmanaged to sophisticated managed network switch solutions.

The managed switch features include advanced VLAN functions, such as a 4K-entry VLAN table, and provide VLAN classification according to port-based, protocol-and-port-based, MAC-based, and Flow-based capability.

In addition, the VLAN translation function also supports Metro Ethernet applications and multiple network redundancy protocols STP/RSTP/MSTP (<50ms) and (ITU-T G.8032) ERPS(<20ms) to improve link backup and network reliability. 

The reliability and performance of VLAN features are critical to smart city network security. Other key features of the solutions are the wide range of DC voltages that power different network devices with different DC power voltage levels, i.e., from 5V to 53V D.C. These enable a broad range of smart city applications, i.e., IoT. 

Citing a couple of case studies, Lin says that in one of the Caribbean islands, Inscape Data’s All-in-One-Box switch solutions were installed to power the surveillance cameras and provide the island with safety. 

Another example of Inscape Data customers' installation sites is a campus with 170 acres. In this application, the customer covers the WIFI in the entire 170 acres.  All the WIFI radios are powered through LinkPower IP68 weatherproof PoE switches in underground vaults. The underground installation requires the IP68 enclosures due to the water from heaven rains and storms.

The LinkPower™ complete network switch solutions have proved to meet the critical weather challenge for the customer.

Lin says about the competition, “We are the leading vendor and provider with the largest selection of outdoor PoE network solutions, and we will maintain the leading edge by expanding the solutions and innovation. Inscape Data’s LinkPower™ Outdoor PoE switch solutions are manufactured in the USA and protected by multiple patents. Our mission is to continue innovating and capitalizing on new products based on the proprietary technologies developed by Inscape Data.”

Inscape Data continues to grow domestically in the U.S. and internationally in European markets. It always works hard to understand customers' needs. An organization can accomplish its business growth plan only when customers' needs are met.

With the mission to keep innovating and capitalizing on new products based on the proprietary technologies developed by Inscape Data; Inscape Data is the leading vendor and provider with the largest outdoor PoE network solutions selection. Inscape Data’s LinkPower™ Outdoor PoE switch solutions are manufactured in the USA and protected by multiple patents.
