Allied Telesis IE220 Series switches are the perfect solution for access connectivity in smart building and physical security networks.Their low latency, high availability and large PoE capacity enables the use of power-hungry devices in critical applications. They are hardened to withstand difficult environmental conditions, such as electromagnetic noise, wide-ranging temperatures, high humidity, and vibration.

The IE220 Series is ideal for many vertical markets and related applications, such as:

Building automation

Facility management including security and access control, fire protection, energy management, heating/ ventilation/air-conditioning, and lighting control.

Smart cities

Public space and urban infrastructure that provides safety and security, parking management, environmental metering, lighting, and information kiosks.

Roadway transportation

Adaptive traffic control, telematics, and preventive maintenance.

10 Gigabit uplink connectivity

The IE220 Series SFP ports support 1/10 Gigabit Small-Form Factor Pluggables. 10 Gigabit uplink ports entail valuable and versatile connectivity, where high bandwidth backhauling and scalability is required.

PoE++ sourcing

In video surveillance, more advanced solutions all require a powerful camera component. Now that artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and deep learning have gained prominence, camera hardware is more power hungry: features like PTZ, heater blower, IR, multi-sensor, and analytics at the edge drain power. The IE220 Series sources standard IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ up to 95W to meet the demand for high power of devices connected to the network. Backwards compatibility to PoE, PoE+ and Hi-PoE is ensured.

Distinctive PoE features

PoE power may be allocated dynamically, based on the current usage of each powered device. The continuous PoE feature allows the switch to be restarted without affecting the supply of power to connected devices.

Network resiliency

The IE220 Series supports highly stable and reliable ICT network switching, with recovery times down to 10ms. Choices include Allied Telesis Ethernet Protection Switched Ring (EPSRing™), and the standards-based ITU-T G.8032 -Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS). For high-availability automation networks based on Ethernet technology, the IE220 may be integrated in networks running Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) as a Media Redundancy Client (MRC).

Micro-segmentation Security

Micro-segmentation reduces the attack surface of your OT network and gives granular control of deviceto-device communications. The IE220 Series supports SDN-based microsegmentation solutions for more security, maintainability, and visibility than traditional security models.

Network automation and orchestration

Powerful automation options include Allied Telesis Autonomous Management Framework™ Plus (AMF Plus), and an open standard-based northbound API. For easy integration into complex networks comprising physical, virtual, and multi-vendor devices, the IE220 Series features:

NETCONF/RESTCONF + YANG data modelling for network automation.
OpenFlow v1.3 for Software Defined Networking (SDN) orchestration.
