27 Jun Unlock rugged reliability with Allied Telesis IE360 Industrial Switches
As smart infrastructure and Industry 4.0 technologies continue to transform the way we work, live, and move, the need for reliable, high-performance networking solutions in challenging environments is accelerating. From smart factories and transport systems to utilities and energy grids, today’s industrial networks must deliver uninterrupted connectivity under the toughest conditions.
For resellers eager to tap into these high-growth sectors, the Allied Telesis IE360 industrial Ethernet switch represents a compelling opportunity — combining rugged design, intelligent features, and the proven reliability of a trusted brand.
Why Industrial Switching Is More Relevant Than Ever
Unlike traditional IT environments, industrial settings present unique challenges — fluctuating temperatures, moisture, dust, vibrations, and electromagnetic interference are all part of daily operations. In these settings, traditional switches fall short, risking costly downtime and service disruptions.
Industrial switching solutions like the IE360 are designed specifically to withstand these challenges. And for resellers, they offer a high-margin pathway into industrial projects that require reliability, long lifecycle support, and simplified deployment.
IE360: Built for toughness in every way
The IE360 is engineered from the ground up for industrial performance:
- Fanless, compact DIN rail-mounted design – Ideal for tight enclosures and silent operation.
- Wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +75°C) – Ensures stable performance in hot or freezing conditions.
- IP30-rated metal enclosure – Durable protection from dust and contact, perfectly suited for field deployments.
These features make the IE360 not just rugged, but versatile enough to support applications in manufacturing plants, roadside cabinets, substations, and more.
Smarter Switching with Real Business Benefits
The IE360 isn’t just about durability. It’s also smart, efficient, and easy to manage. Resellers can position it as a long-term value-add for customers thanks to:
