Project Overview In 2023, Volktek took a significant leap forward in revolutionizing the Metro System by implementing a comprehensive system upgrade. This involved integrating cutting-edge networking solutions, including the deployment of the 6500-24GS4XS and enhancing substations with the Industrial Switch IEN-8648PA and 9060-4GP2GS. The latter is a high-performance managed switch designed for surveillance applications with remote and fast management.
Substation Upgrade: Creating a Robust Ring Network Volktek upgraded substations by deploying the Industrial Switch IEN-8648PA and 9060-4GP2GS. These high-performance switches, featuring Power over Ethernet (PoE++) and 2-port GbE SFP uplink, established a robust ring network for continuous connectivity and operational resilience. |

6500-24GS4XS-C Elevating Network Bandwidth Demands Volktek introduced the 6500-24GS4XS-C, a high-performance switch designed to meet the escalating network bandwidth demands between stations. This 20-port switch incorporates a 10G backbone, significantly enhancing data transfer speeds for a seamless and rapid transit experience.
Increased Data Transfer Speeds: Facilitating faster data transfer between stations, reducing latency, and improving overall system responsiveness. Enhanced User Experience: Providing a smoother and more reliable network connection for internet users between stations.
IEN-8648PA Industrial-grade managed PoE+ switch with 8-port PSE (power sourcing equipment) ports for controlling all remote powered devices, including IP Phones, Point of Sales, Monitor Sensors, Wireless, IP cameras, and Access Control.
Hawkeye 9060-4GP2GS Managed switch designed for high-energy demanding IP surveillance and monitoring applications in modern smart systems. It supplies 60/90 Watts, collects real-time environmental data through digital inputs, and features Perpetual- and Fast PoE.
Key Benefits of the Upgrade Redundancy and Reliability
Improved Network Efficiency Industrial Switches enable efficient data transfer, optimizing network performance for stable connections in critical systems.
LACP Functionality: Enhancing Link Aggregation Volktek implemented the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) functionality across the upgraded infrastructure. LACP enhances network bandwidth and provides load balancing, ensuring an even distribution of traffic across multiple links for optimal performance.
Perpetual and Fast PoE Perpetual POE The Perpetual POE provides uninterrupted power to connected powered device (PD) even when the power sourcing equipment (PSE) switch is booting. This innovative capability eliminates power disruptions during switch reboots, guaranteeing a continuous and reliable power source for connected devices.
Fast PoE With fast PoE, the switch saves PoE power settings across a reboot. It powers on the PD once the PSE starts booting—within a few seconds of switching on power—without waiting for the boot process to complete. This rapid activation of devices contributes to improved operational efficiency.
Synergy Perpetual PoE and Fast PoE operate independently of each other but synergistically contribute to power reliability. In scenarios where Perpetual PoE faces challenges, such as power cycles or failures, Fast PoE steps in to swiftly restore power to PDs. This dynamic interplay ensures a robust and resilient power infrastructure in diverse operational conditions.
