AMG Systems - Experts & Thought Leaders

AMG Systems of the United Kingdom and the USA introduces the AMG Secure-Net SFP carrier, an SFP-based IP-level device that offers 128-bit encryption for traffic over any IP network. This device operates as an SFP carrier and can host most standard MSA-compliant 100Mb or 1Gb SFP modules. The Secure-Net SFP carrier transparently envelopes a wide variety of SFPs, enabling full reuse of existing equipment and easy deployment across various infrastructure types, including both fibre and copper lines. The SFP carrier The SFP carrier is easy to use with standard MSA-compatible SFP ports on AMG switches The SFP carrier is easy to use with standard MSA-compatible SFP ports on AMG switches, media converters, and third-party devices, including switches, routers, and servers from other manufacturers. This removes the need for external power, saving space and reducing cabling costs. The Secure-Net SFP carrier supports end-to-end static IPsec in transport mode for highly secure 128-bit AES-GCM-ESP encrypted network links in both point-to-point and multipoint deployments. Network security Steve Clarke, AMG's Managing Director, confirms, “AMG is known for our innovative approach to solving our customers’ challenges. Network Security is more important than ever.” “With the AMG Secure-Net SFP Carrier, any device on the network that requires the highest level of security can now be cost-effectively secured using Secure-Net.” Secure-Net SFP carriers Tom Exley, AMG Technical Director, adds, “These Secure-Net SFP carriers are a cost-effective alternative to larger overall solutions.” “In addition, complete out-of-band management ensures the highest levels of security with no access to the configuration of the Secure-Net device from within the network or from its local host device.” Data transmission equipment AMG Systems offers an extensive line of fibre optic, copper, and wireless Ethernet video “The Secure-Net SFP Carrier is another example of a product designed to provide a definitive solution to a known challenge. The product is available now and can be ordered through all AMG channels,” adds Frank Haight, AMG VP of Marketing. AMG believes that having products in stock and being fully supported by the AMG design team gives AMG customers worldwide a measurable advantage in today’s competitive marketplace. AMG Systems offers an extensive line of fibre optic, copper, and wireless Ethernet, video, and data transmission equipment that is uniquely designed to meet the needs of the security, intelligent transportation systems, utility, and industrial markets.

AMG Systems of the United Kingdom and the USA introduced the Net-Hawk IP Network Monitoring System.  The AMG Net-Hawk software system provides complete visibility into the status and performance of network devices, servers, and any device on an IP network. With advanced custom monitors for AMG switches, the status and operation of each device can be fully monitored.  Aspect of network infrastructure Net-Hawk by AMG is a comprehensive end-to-end network monitoring and management solution that offers detailed visibility into every aspect of network infrastructure, including end devices such as servers, cameras, and access control panels. Monitoring is performed through a nearly limitless range of configurable monitors, providing insight into both the hardware and the application stack.  Remote control of ports Net-Hawk allows complete management of an entire network from a centralised platform Net-Hawk is vendor agnostic, making it ideal for multivendor platforms; if it has an IP address, it can be monitored. Additionally, Net-Hawk allows complete management of an entire network from a centralised platform, including the remote control of ports with or without POE, configuration backup and auditing, as well as remote configuration deployment. Networks growing in scope  Steve Clarke, AMG's Managing Director, confirms, “AMG is known for our innovative approach to product design. With today’s networks growing in scope, monitoring the network’s operation is paramount. By introducing Net-Hawk, we can provide that option to the users of our equipment, enabling them to monitor operations for all other devices on that network." "This ensures a minimum of downtime and automates many processes,” Clarke concludes, “We’ve priced Net-Hawk very competitively and if you weigh cost versus benefit, we believe it’s a must-have for any IP Network.” Network device replacement Tom Exley, AMG Technical Director, adds, “Net-Hawk Config Management allows for flexible network configuration, configuration backup, remote control (i.e., reboot a camera), configuration auditing, and mass configuration deployment and firmware upgrade." "Network device replacement can be configured using config backups with a replacement switch, eliminating the need for experienced network personnel to visit physical locations.” Network monitoring system AMG Lifetime Warranty gives AMG clients worldwide a measurable benefit in the competitive marketplace “Our Net-Hawk System continues our quality standard and solidifies our leadership technology role in the market.

AMG Systems of the United Kingdom and USA introduced the AMG260B/AMG2036 Blade Chassis System. The AMG260B blade cards are designed for installation in the AMG2036 blade chassis system, which accommodates up to 18 individual blade cards within a single 1U of 19-inch rack space. Additional models for the future This configuration offers industry-pioneering rack density, where space is limited, and the blade cards' hot-swap capability facilitates easy future expansion and device maintenance or replacement. Within the lineup, models are available with one TX port in, one FX SFP port out, and two TX ports in, one FX SFP port out, with additional models planned for the future. AMG260B series media converters AMG260B series media converters are ideally suited for connecting equipment to Ethernet networks Designed as ultra-compact blade cards, the AMG260B series media converters are ideally suited for connecting equipment to Ethernet networks over long distances using multimode or single-mode optical fibre through the integrated SFP port.  Fibre connectivity is determined by separate SFP device selection, providing application and site flexibility. The AMG260B uses a dual-speed 100Mb/1Gb SFP port for connectivity, and AMG offers a wide range of SFPs for fibre, connector type, and distance. TAA and NDAA compliant The AMG260B Series media converters are designed in the USA and UK and manufactured in an ISO9001-certified UK facility, are designed to NEMA standards and are fully TAA and NDAA compliant, and unlike similar products from other Asian countries, can be used in all US Government installations. Steve Clarke, AMG's Managing Director, said, “AMG is known for our innovative approach to product design. With space being at a premium in most installations, the AMG260B/AMG2036 Blade Chassis System solves density challenges by allowing a large number of media converters to occupy a small amount of space in a standard 19-inch rack.” AMG260B/AMG2036 Blade Chassis System AMG260B Series media converters are designed in USA and UK and manufactured in the UK facility Clarke concluded: “Our unparalleled manufacturing process allows AMG to offer a wide range of transmission products at very cost-effective levels while maintaining ISO9001 quality, the AMG260B/AMG2036 Blade Chassis System is another example.” Tom Exley, AMG Technical Director, adds, “The AMG260B/AMG2036 Blade Chassis System continues our quality standard. Our sales team and engineering team looked at what was available, identified installation density challenges, and engineered the AMG260B/AMG2036 Blade Chassis System to overcome those weaknesses." Added layer of security Exley added: "The AMG260B builds off the successful AMG 260M Series media converter and transforms it into the blade format. This media converter system solves the density challenge, allowing the user to utilise more devices in a smaller area." "The AMG 260B is made in an ISO9001-certified facility and, most importantly, is available when needed. We believe in the quality and stand behind them with lifetime support.
