In today’s e-business environment, network access and security is important. Amplicon understands that products which provide a platform for application solutions providers to integrate network security functions such as VPN (Virtual Private Network), IDS (Intrusion Detection Systems), firewall, traffic shaping, content filtering and anti-virus capabilities, should have the necessary characteristics to operate in application ambient conditions.

Network performance is as important as network security, hence it is necessary for the solution to have the right balance and not let one concern overshadow the other.

Today, it is necessary for travelling customers to be able to obtain tickets over the counter as well as via ticket dispenser machines. At present, several dispenser machines are situated in train stations. These machines are required to carrier out functions such as ticket fair validation, credit card transactions, cash transactions, ticket dispensing and seat allocation if necessary.

It is thus necessary for the solution used to have networked machines, in order to keep count of dispensed tickets and not to allocate the same seat to two different customers. Also, credit card transactions need to be carried out via a secure and high performance solution.

Amplicon products can provide an ideal right platform for system integrators to achieve the required end result.

Amplicon can provide fanless versatile embedded computer systems and Ethernet switches for such applications. Whilst many companies are able to provide consumer Ethernet switches, Amplicon can provide a fully 802.3af compliant EN 50155 industrial switch ideally suited to rail industrial applications.
