High Performance LAN InfrastructureNetVanta Switches

LAN Challenges Technology is transforming the guest experience whether it’s Wi-Fi® in guest rooms and lobbies, digital signage and self-service kiosks in the front desk, to business bars with iPads and tablets, and cloud apps for back-office operations including property management and event planning. All this requires a high-performance network infrastructure, one that is scalable and highly reliable, yet cost-effective and simple to deploy and manage. As IT administrators look to deploy a reliable LAN infrastructure, they need to keep some key considerations in mind:

• Plan for adding switching capacity on-demand as the number of endpoints continue to grow

• Bandwidth-intensive applications, like video conferencing and digital signage requires high-speed switching capability

• VoIP requires Quality of Service (QoS) features to maintain call quality

• Consider how to deploy Ethernet to hard-to-reach, out-of-the-way locations

• Leverage existing legacy cabling to eliminate costly Ethernet runs/drops

• Consumer-grade switches don’t support the business-class features to sustain a reliable, secure network

• Simplify management with a consistent interface.

ADTRAN’s portfolio of Ethernet switches enables hotels and resorts to deploy a high performance LAN infrastructure to support the growing bandwidth needs of guests and staff.

Key Features

The NetVanta portfolio has an extensive list of products and options making it one of the most flexible solutions on the market. You can select from a full range of products and options including:

• Fast Ethernet, Gigabit, and ActivReach • Power over Ethernet (PoE), PoE+, and non-PoE

• Copper or Fiber • Layer 3 lite and full Layer 3 switches

• 12-, 24-, or 48-ports • Aggregation and stackable switches

Higher Bandwidth for Wi-Fi Expansion The NetVanta Series of Gigabit switches provide higher bandwidth to support the most bandwidth intensive applications. The NetVanta 1600s Gigabit switches feature up to four 16 Gigabit links for a total of 128 Gbps of backplane capacity. These switches are perfect of new properties or for network upgrades and are ideal to support Wi-Fi expansion, data connectivity for digital signage, video conferencing and Gigabit-to-the-desktop deployments.

Port Capacity On-Demand The NetVanta 1600 Gigabit switches come with ActivChassis technology, which allows you to add port capacity on-demand by stacking up to 8 switches (400 ports) and manage them as a single virtual switch. And with the ability to centrally manage the ActivChassis stack distributed across multiple switch closets, the NetVanta switches simplify management and reduce operational costs.

VoIP-ready NetVanta switching solutions are VoIP-ready with Quality of Service (QoS) and Class of Service (CoS) features. In addition, they also offer Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) to auto-discover and configure IP phones, making NetVanta switches ideal for use with VoIP applications.

Secure Networking The NetVanta Series of Ethernet Switches provides various lines of defense against common security threats. Denial of Service (DoS) protection identifies and blocks common network attacks. The Security audit dashboard identifies possible vulnerabilities to network security. Desktop security audit utilizes DHCP in conjunction with Microsoft Network Access Protection (NAP) protocol to monitor the health of client computers and ensure that systems connected to the network are using appropriate corporate policies, such as firewall and antivirus settings.

Power over Ethernet ADTRAN’s Ethernet switching solutions offer 802.3af, 802.3at and Legacy PoE. Now powering IP Phones, wireless access points, or video surveillance cameras have never been easier.

Long-reach Ethernet over any Wiring ADTRAN’s innovative ActivReach technology, delivers voice, data and video connectivity at 4x Ethernet reach (up to 1,600 feet), over all grades of cabling—CAT5e, CAT3 or even legacy copper. With ActivReach, cabling is no longer a hindrance to offering VoIP or high-speed connectivity across the entire property.
