The ION Platform Overview The ION Media Conversion Platform offers first-rate solutions for integrating, optimizing and navigating networks. By cost-effectively integrating copper and fiber equipment with infrastructure, the ION Platform equips networks for the bandwidth, distance, and security demands of today, tomorrow, and every point in between. Designed for enterprise data centers and core network applications, the ION Platform provides the secure network management of fiber interface points required for both carrier-class and enterprise-class services. Media conversion technology allows for the integration of fiber optic cabling into environments with copper-based equipment. Transition Networks' ION media converters provide a quick, inexpensive method for connecting new or embedded fiber with copper-based networking devices that have RJ-45 ports. The ION Platform accommodates a variety of modules and interface devices supporting multiple protocols and networking environments, including Ethernet and TDM networks. With optimum flexibility built in, ION is equally suited for either single-unit network edge or high-density applications within enterprises or central offices. The ION Platform provides simple navigation of all the connected network interfaces, allowing various components to be easily configured, monitored and managed remotely while providing a high level of secure access to the management data. Transition Networks' ION solutions allow users to easily integrate copper and fiber in order to extend networks within a building, between buildings, or throughout a campus. Benefits In summary, the ION Platform and its full line of feature-rich modular conversion solutions provide a cost-effective method for integrating the benefits of fiber optic cabling into embedded copper networks, optimizing existing equipment and infrastructure while simplifying the navigation of network management. Cost Savings Flexibility Scalability Reduce capital expenditures by integrating affordable copper-based equipment within a fiber infrastructure. All ION cards are modular and independent, supporting a mix of various communication protocols within the same chassis. The hot-swappable design allows for the installation of new cards on an as-needed basis, matching the need for fiber integration. Intelligence Efficiently navigate the system by monitoring the chassis, modules, and power supplies via SNMP with the optional ION Management Module. Reliability Created by the industry-leading supplier of fiber integration products, reliability is reinforced through redundant power supplies (AC or DC) and high CFM (cubic ft. per minute) variable speed cooling fans. Security Advanced security features allow controlled access to ensure only authorized personnel are able to navigate, view, and change the configuration of devices within the ION Platform. Future-Proof Copper-to-fiber integration optimizes existing infrastructure and accommodates cost-effective upgrades. Continuous development of new fiber modules keep the ION Platform up-to-date. 1 TAA Compliant | USA Based Company | 24 / 7 Technical Support
