Antaira Technologies has introduced a powerful firmware upgrade that enables its industrial Ethernet switch to deliver up to 100W per port, specifically designed for solar-powered security trailers.
The new V6.2 firmware enhances the capabilities of the LMP-1204G-SFP-bt-24-T, making it suitable for high-power IP camera deployments and other demanding applications in remote and off-grid environments.
Addressing High-Power PoE Challenges
Antaira Technologies announced that the updated firmware allows the switch to supply up to 100W per port when operating within the available PoE power budget based on input voltage.
“Security trailer manufacturers and system integrators have requested an industrial managed switch that can handle 100W high-wattage PoE++ delivery directly from 24VDC solar input without voltage conversion or external power injectors,”
explained Joe Cook, General Manager, Antaira Technologies.
“The LMP-1204G-SFP-bt-24-T with our latest version 6.2 firmware solves the high power PoE++ challenge in wide operating temperatures of -40°C to 75°C (-40°F to 167°F) while delivering network management and Auto-Reboot for connected PoE devices in these mission-critical deployments.”
Growing Demand For Security Trailers
Mobile solar-powered security trailers are rapidly gaining traction across the physical security market.
The global mobile surveillance tower market reached $1.3 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow steadily, driven by increased demand for remote monitoring, construction site security, and protection of critical infrastructure. The broader mobile video surveillance market is also projected to exceed $4 billion by 2030.
Designed For Solar-Powered Deployments
Security trailers rely on solar-generated DC power, typically operating at 24VDC. The upgraded switch is optimized for this setup, delivering a total PoE budget of up to 180W at 24VDC, with the ability to supply up to 100W to a single port.
This enables support for advanced devices such as:
- High-wattage IP PTZ cameras
- Multi-sensor systems
- AI edge computing units
- LED lighting and deterrence systems
- Radar and audio communication devices
Built For Harsh Environments
The LMP-1204G-SFP-bt-24-T is engineered for rugged outdoor use, offering reliable performance in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 75°C.
The switch includes:
- 12 Gigabit ports with PoE++ and PoE support
- Fiber connectivity via SFP slots
- High EFT and ESD protection
- DIN-rail or shelf mounting options
These features make it ideal for deployment in harsh environments such as deserts, construction sites, and remote infrastructure locations.
