Allied Telesis (News - Alert) has introduced its x310 Series of Fast Ethernet/Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)/Copper stackable access switches which can be used in numerous modern day network based applications. According to the company, the x310 Series is ideal for today’s demanding IP network based applications, as it is packed with features such as Gigabit uplinks, and PoE+. It can also stack up to four units.

The x310 Series makes use of Allied Telesis Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack) technology to strengthen end-points such as VoIP phones and IP cameras. It also offers support for Allied Telesis Management Framework (AMF). For network administrators, it provides features such as zero-touch device installation and recovery which save time and money.

The x310 Series also has other powerful features to secure user access, and easily manage traffic. According to the company, x310 Series switches are the fastest in the business.
