At GlobalComm 2006, Patton Displays Rugged, NEMA4-Compliant EnviroNET(TM)
Industrial Ethernet-in-the-First-Mile and Outdoor-VoIP Solutions for Harsh
Environments
GAITHERSBURG, Md., June 6 /PRNewswire/ -- This week at GlobalComm 2006,
Patton Electronics -- the leader in network-access, connectivity, and VoIP
solutions -- is unveiling their new EnviroNET(TM) brand of NEMA4-compliant
industrial-networking equipment. The new Patton product line for harsh-
environment communications offers solutions for delivering commercial
outdoor- VoIP, industrial Ethernet-in-the-first-mile, and other services.
"Anybody can put a box in a clean room and call it 'industrial'," said
Scott Whittle, VP of Product Management. "How about an offshore oil rig, a
gritty-hot pit mine, or a greasy railway bed? EnviroNET(TM) delivers
network services anywhere. Our rugged NEMA4 enclosures deliver the secure,
reliable communications our customers require."
Designed for extreme temperatures from -40 degrees to 185 degrees F
(-40 degrees to 85 degrees C), EnviroNET(TM) gear lets network operators
extend services to harsh indoor and outdoor environments where heating or
cooling systems are unavailable or impractical. EnviroNET(TM) enclosures
protect sensitive network equipment against such damaging elements as high
wind, precipitation, salt spray, dirt, sand, oil, corrosive chemicals, and
external ice formation.
"Everything-over-Ethernet," said Johnnie Grant, product manager.
"That's where network infrastructure is going. Years ago we pioneered a
technology for breaking the Ethernet distance barrier. Now we're busting
through environmental barriers -- pushing Ethernet to even further
extremes."
While a broad range of products is planned for the EnviroNET(TM) line,
Patton is currently accepting orders for their industrial-grade
EnviroNET(TM) Ethernet Extenders that extend 10/100Base-TX Ethernet in the
first mile up to 5 miles (8 km) over 2-wire 24 AWG unconditioned copper
twisted-pair lines.
Patton is also taking orders for EnviroNET(TM) Voice-over-IP Gateways
that convert FXS, FXO, and ISDN BRI circuits to state-of-the-art VoIP for
such extreme applications as outdoor pay phones, utility-pole call-boxes,
or mine- shaft hotlines where wireless is not an option.
