Why PoLRE?
PoLRE®Managed Switches
Beyond PoE: Delivering Power over Long Reach Ethernet
Phybridge Power over Long Reach Ethernet (PoLRE) switches go beyond
traditional PoE. PoLRE switches are specifically designed to allow businesses to
optimize their converged LAN platform. This game-changing switch innovation
moves the convergence point from every desktop to a single point in the
central closet—greatly reducing costs, risk and complexity while eliminating
many of the compromises
associated with layering voice
on your data switch fabric.
With a PoLRE backbone
complementing the data
switch fabric, you are
guaranteed voice quality of
service, voice continuity with
no data LAN dependencies,
and a highly secure topology
with the physical separation
of voice communications.
Best of all, there’s no need to
replace the IP phone or
power source when upgrading your data speeds to the desktop: The separate
PoLRE backbone supports your bandwidth and power requirements today and
in the future.
What is PoLRE?
The PoLRE switch innovation delivers Ethernet and Power over Ethernet over a
single pair of cable with four times the reach of traditional switches. You can
transform your existing voice infrastructure into an IP path with power, ideal
for IP telephony deployment. The two most important aspects businesses can’t
compromise when delivering a robust voice platform are power and the
availability of uninterrupted bandwidth: The PoLRE switch has both covered,
with 24-port and 48-port configurations and the ability to scale to thousands
of users.
The Most Robust PoE Switch Offering Available
PoLRE comes standard with PowerWise® technology. High performance PoLRE
switches are equipped with industry leading power capabilities found in
switches twice the price. Power sharing, load balancing, AC/DC options, and
hot swappable power supply make the PoLRE switch one of the most robust
PoE switches available today.
Quality of Service Guaranteed
Phybridge offers an industry leading QoS guarantee. We can do this with
confidence because we leverage the existing, proven reliable point-to-point
voice infrastructure to create a dedicated physical path for every IP phone,
ensuring data traffic has no impact on the user’s voice experience.
PoLRE Highlights
Highly resilient and robust PoLRE switches have
been designed from the ground up to meet the
“five nines” high availability of service required in
telephony. Solid and dependable, PoLRE switches
are built to withstand tough operating
environments.
Create the ideal converged LAN topology by
optimizing your LAN for voice and data
convergence with a separate voice path.
Point-to-point topology provides dedicated
physical bandwidth for voice, ensuring QoS and
voice continuity with no data LAN dependencies.
Leveraging your existing voice infrastructure
makes migrating to IP telephony simple, and the
quick and easy plug-and-play deployment saves
you time while minimizing network and business
disruption.
Simplify network management. Physically
separating voice traffic eliminates the
complexities of managing constantly changing
voice, video, and data traffic that share a single
path.
Monitor, update and troubleshoot switches in
real-time with the Simple Network Manager, an
easy-to-use and easy-to-learn tool.
Easily identify end point locations, essential for
location identification methods such as E911 and
asset tracking.
Operate the switch in secure transparent mode
with management still available over the console
port.
48-port PoE switch in a stackable 1U chassis with
a compact and sleek design.
Energy efficiency design makes PoLRE one of the
lowest power consuming data switches in the
industry. PowerWise technology and features
such as power/load sharing, hot swappable and
redundant power supplies ensure voice
continuity.
Optimizing your converged LAN network
increases your return on investment and
decreases your total cost of ownership, greatly
reducing management complexity and
requirements.

PoLRE switches are among the lowest power consuming data switches in
the industry, with features including power/load sharing, hot swappable
power supply, and AC/DC options. PoLRE switches come standard with
PowerWise technology, providing the flexibility to use either AC or DC
robust PoE platform in the industry: a highly reliable local area switch
network powered by PowerWise with multiple sources of redundancy.
Industry-Leading Network Services
PoLRE switches support industry-leading network services (such as VLAN,
SNMP and STP/RSTP), providing you with comprehensive and effective
management of the switch.
Secure Transparent Mode (Bridge Mode)
Operate the switch in secure transparent mode with management still
available over the console port.
PoLRE switch functions as a bridge and is not visible on the network.
E911 Support
PoLRE switches support E911, an enhancement to the 911 service that
allows the user’s location to be identified. The fixed nature of the PoLRE
telephony infrastructure makes it easy to determine end point locations,
required for E911 location identification.
Simplify Management with the PoLRE Simple Network Manager
Manager. Instantly get a complete picture of your PoLRE switch network,
perform real-time updates and dynamically control services. Key
information, such as bandwidth consumption and ethernet port status, is
available at a glance.
The PoLRE Simple Network Manager is so easy to understand, you can
start using it right away—no training required.
Easy to Navigate
Finding your way around is easy. There’s no complicated navigation
system to learn: Just click the System, Ethernet, VLAN and Admin
navigation buttons at the top of the screen to move through the Simple
Network Manager pages.
Easy to Find Information
Information is grouped logically, making switch details and controls easy
to find. For example, when working with a service, you can see the status
of all other services at the same time; when viewing details for a VLAN,
you can also see information for all VLANs on the network.
