Harsh Environments Create IT Challenges
Purpose-built ruggedized products designed to address tough environments often operate in silos—lacking the security, management tools, and visibility that IT teams need for operational efficiency.
- Traditional equipment for extreme temperatures or hazardous environments often has limited management capabilities, requiring manual operations with on-site IT.
- IoT devices like security cameras, PoE lighting, and sensors bring safety benefits but increase security risks when deployed beyond controlled office spaces.
- Ruggedized networks must deliver the latest advances in Wi-Fi, wired connectivity, and cloud-based services including support for high power PoE, BLE, 802.15.4/Zigbee, and USB extensions.
