ORing and AXIS Communications together offer the very best in railway IP video surveillance and railway industrial-grade networking. ORing has full range industrial grade EN50155 Transporter Series networking products for railway applications, including Ethernet switch, PoE+ switch, 802.11 wireless access point, and cellular VPN router . All ORing products can be used in harsh and outdoor environment. ORing EN50155 Transporter Series Ethernet switches and PoE+ switches have been tested with AXIS new generation EN50155 IP Camera including wide temperature, shock vibration, stability testing…etc.  ORing EN50155 switches provide EN50155 compliance, high power PoE+, port lock functions to provide best performance and secure railway IP surveillance networking. 

There are many benefits for AXIS IP camera using ORing Ethernet switch, POE switches in IP surveillance applications:

1.     Video privacy and security: ORing’s port lock technology prevents access from unauthorized MAC address. Additionally, ORing's EN50155 Ethernet switches support RADIUS centralized password management, VLAN, Q-in-Q VLAN, and SNMP v1/v2c/v3. Further, all of ORing's wireless access points and routers are fully encrypted (SSL VPN, IPSec VPN, SSL Data Encryption) with comprehensive authentication options for fully private and secure networking experience even in the wireless domain.

2.     Network stability: All connectors (network and power) of ORing's EN50155 Ethernet switches are either M12 or M23 type to withstand high shock and vibration associated with the fast-moving railcar. Additionally, ORing's EN50155 Ethernet switches with -BP suffix support   hardware network bypass features, as well as redundant power inputs, to make sure that the critical surveillance video traffic stays uninterrupted. Moreover, ORing's managed and lite-managed EN50155 Ethernet switches have plenty of advanced network redundancy technologies to offer. The O-Chain technology provides add-on swift network redundancy topology with multi-vendor compatibility. For the core network ring topology, the O-Ring technology provides swift network redundancy protection, while the Open Ring technology guarantees compatibility with other vendors' network devices.

3.     Network management: With many railway IP surveillance devices onboard the train, their maintenance can be a major headache. Fortunately, ORing has the solution to alleviate such headache -- Open-Vision, the powerful network management software utility suite offering advantages of visualized management (with Google Map feature!), centralized management, complete monitor, and early warning.

4.     Power consumption and management: For maximum wiring efficiency and minimal wiring costs, PoE IP surveillance devices are widely used for railway applications. However, as these devices become more advanced, they also have become more power-hungry. We are pleased to announce that ORing EN50155 Transporter Series now includes EN50155 PoE+ (P.S.E.) Ethernet switches that support the latest IEEE802.3at standard, supplying up to 30W per PoE+ Ethernet port, which is about twice as much as that of the older PoE standard (IEEE802.3af, supplying only up to 15W per port). Further, ORing's EN50155 PoE+ products feature green power scheduling technology to supply electricity only when needed, plus the alive-checking feature to automatically reboot the PoE or PoE+ device upon encountering abnormal responses.

At press time, ORing and AXIS together have already written outstanding railway IP surveillance success stories.
