Luxul Sets Sights on AV Over IP at InfoComm 2018 With L2/L3 Managed Switches

DRAPER, Utah — May 1, 2018 — Luxul, the leading innovator of IP networking solutions for AV integrators, today announced the company will be showcasing its family of L2/L3 managed switches, optimized for HD-over-IP applications, at InfoComm 2018 June 6-8 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Exhibiting in booth N464 with Just Add Power, Luxul will demonstrate how its switches are the perfect complement to AV-over-IP video distribution systems in pro AV installations. In addition, the company will be highlighting its full offering of routers and access points (APs), while introducing a new initiative for dealers.

Combining plug-and-play installation with a simple-to-use management interface, the L2/L3 managed switches on display at InfoComm 2018 will include the 26-port Gigabit AMS-2600; 26-port/24 PoE+ stackable AMS-4424P; 52-port Gigabit PoE+ XMS-5248P; and 52-port stackable Gigabit PoE+ XMS-7048P. For network expansion, the stackable AMS-4424P and XMS-7048P each offer two 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports for seamless scalability and management of up to 16 switches, for a total of 384 ports and 800 ports, respectively. In addition, the AMS-2600 includes two Gigabit RJ-45/SFP combo ports, while the XMS-5248P features two Gigabit SFP ports.

The PoE+ ports of the AMS-4424P, XMS-5248P, and XMS-7048P are perfect for expanding networks utilizing PoE-enabled devices, such as touchpanels, VoIP devices, IP cameras, and wireless access points. To simplify installations, PoE+ allows integrators to use standard Ethernet cables to deliver both power and high-speed data to 802.3/af/at-compliant devices, with a total power budget of 250 W for the AMS-4424P and 740 W for the XMS-5248P and XMS-7048P.

“As AV over IP gains popularity, the network switch has become a vital part of the system,” said Mike Grubb, vice president of marketing at Luxul. “However, many integrators struggle with switch configuration. To address this issue, our L2/L3 switches are pre-configured to handle this demanding network application. In addition, we’ve partnered with Just Add Power and other manufacturers of AV-over-IP products to ensure seamless compatibility with their solutions in pro-AV installations. We look forward to visiting with all the integration companies looking for a solid solution in networking.”

Luxul routers on display at InfoComm 2018 will include the company’s award-winning Epic Series, which consists of the wired multi-WAN Epic 4, the wired Gigabit dual-WAN Epic 5, and the dual-band wireless AC3100 Epic 3. The routers feature integrated Domotz technology for completely secure remote management and support of client networks and connected devices — eliminating the need for truck rolls and service calls — and Router Limits content management technology to put commercial users in complete control of their internet experiences.

Luxul will also exhibit APs for reliable Wi-Fi coverage both indoors and out. These will include the XAP-1510 with 802.11ac 3×3 dual-band technology for data rates up to 1900 Mbps throughout a facility and the AC1200 dual-band XAP-1440 to extend wireless coverage outside.

In addition, the company will introduce its new Customer Assurance Program, which provides dealers with certified wired and wireless network designs for commercial applications — complete with tech support — that are guaranteed to meet their customers’ reliability and performance requirements relating to Wi-Fi.

InfoComm is the largest event in North America focused on the pro AV industry.
