Actelis Networks, Inc., a market provider in cyber-hardened, deployment networking solutions for wide area IoT applications, announced the launch of a new line of advanced, software managed, temperature and cyber-hardened, layer 2 and layer 3 fibre optic switching devices.

This release will enable Actelis to deliver a much broader selection of solutions for large and small networks, at higher speeds, in support of hybrid-fibre-copper networks that contain a larger part of fibre. The launch includes the following product series:

  • GL5010
  • GL5020
  • GL5030
  • GL5060
  • GL5070
  • GL5080
  • GL6010
  • GL6030
  • GL6040X

“While our customers are seeking cyber-safe, rapid deployment solutions for their networking needs in large IoT projects, they also need a higher variety of features and capabilities for faster and ever-expanding networks. This is what our existing and newly launched GigaLine products are offering,” says Tuvia Barlev, chairman and CEO of Actelis. “Network operators have come to trust Actelis because of our high product reliability, quality and resilience and we are very confident that they will be extremely pleased with our new GigaLine series of fibre products.”

This major release of nine new GigaLine product families and more than 40 product models, is comprised of 10Gbps layer 2 and layer 3 switches and aggregation devices, offering a wide range of features and benefits, and is a follow up on the previous releases of Actelis’ GigaLine product offerings for copper, coax and hybrid-fibre-copper networking products.

Through this expansion of Actelis’ product portfolio, the company is able to meet the networking demands of IoT network operators that already have fibre installed in larger parts of their network. IoT operators will benefit from having their various network segments under one umbrella, covering intelligent software management, deployment in difficult-to-reach areas utilising Actelis’ ability to drive Gigabit-grade connectivity over existing copper and coax, and network cyber-hardening – all while benefiting from cost savings.

The new GigaLine products are software managed devices designed for a variety of applications including smart city, intelligent transportation, rail, utilities, military, and more, where reliability and security are paramount. The new GigaLine products operate in a wide temperature range from very cold to hot environments, support high density of ports and functions to fit in smaller spaces, and incorporate multiple levels of security.

The GigaLine product families can be remotely managed by Actelis’ MetaAssist EMS intelligent software solution, giving operators the ability to scale their networks, save installation time in the field, accelerate ‘time to service’ and increase service availability, while reducing operational expenses and complexity.

Both DIN Rail (typically designed for traffic cabinets) and rack mount (designed for commercial rack installation) form factors are available in Actelis’ new fibre optic product line. Rack mount options include for example the GL6040 product line offering the high port density, and feature 36 1G ports, four 10G interfaces, and Layer 3 switching capabilities. Another rack mount example is the feature GL6010 product line which offers the power over ethernet (PoE) capabilities, utilising all 24 of its 1G interfaces to deliver power to IoT devices (such as cameras and sensors) over its networking lines, and also includes an additional four 10G interfaces, and Layer 3 switching capabilities.

DIN Rail options include for example the 12 port GL5020 featuring four 10G interfaces along with POE++ (90W of power to each IoT device), and the high density GL5060 featuring Layer 3 capabilities, 20 ports, 10G capacity, and power over ethernet.
