Alcatel-Lucent Expands Its OmniSwitch 6850 LAN Switch Family With Innovative Solution for Extreme Environments
PARIS, April 28 / MARKET WIRE/ --
Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris: ALU) (NYSE: ALU) today introduced the Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6855 Hardened LAN switch, a new Gigabit Ethernet switch specifically built for IP network deployments where environmental operating conditions are unusually demanding. Inheriting the benefits of the highly successful OmniSwitch 6850 product family -- with more than 1.5 million ports shipped -- the OmniSwitch 6855 offers flexible configurations and the highest density of Gigabit ports in a remarkably small ruggedized chassis.
The OmniSwitch 6855 is a hardened, fully managed Gigabit Ethernet switch, engineered to meet stringent operating requirements including working in temperatures of -40 deg C up to +75 deg C, and purpose-built to withstand challenging shock, vibration and electrical conditions (e.g. Industrial EMI/EMC, IEEE1613, IEC61850). Its superior hardware design and maximum availability, complemented by the advanced Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS), makes the OmniSwitch 6855 particularly suitable for utility, transportation systems, and defense installations. The switch also performs very well within carrier Ethernet access services.
Product details of the OmniSwitch 6855
The OmniSwitch 6855 is the first industrial grade Ethernet switch that offers up to 24 Gigabit copper and fiber port densities in a single RU high chassis. Four models are available with replaceable and redundant AC and DC power supplies:
-- half-size rack mountable, fanless, 10 ports fiber model (OS6855-U10) and 14 ports copper model (OS6855-14) -- full-size 24 ports rack mountable fiber model (OS6855-U24) and copper model (OS6855-24).
All copper models support four Power over Ethernet (POE) ports that can provide a flexible edge connectivity to a growing list of popular POE devices such as video surveillance camera, wireless access points, card readers, sensors or other special purpose powered devices.
