Altronix to Showcase Innovative LINQ Communication Technology at ASIS 2015

Altronix continues to lead the industry in power and transmission technologies with release of the company’s innovative LINQ Communication Technology. LINQ provides remote IP access to real-time data by monitoring power and devices to keep systems up and running at optimal levels.

LINQ is simple and easy to implement and works with both Altronix and other manufacturers’ IP and analog products. It facilitates monitoring to minimize system downtime, and eliminate unnecessary service calls, which helps reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Early intervention, system service and preventative maintenance can be handled expediently with a higher degree of accuracy increasing overall security. Integrators can expand their service offering and revenue stream using LINQ as a source of Recurring Monthly Revenue (RMR). LINQ integrates seamlessly with IP surveillance and access control at single or multiple sites, making it ideal for multi-tenant, multi-user environments.

“LINQ provides communications and management capabilities for power distribution and transmission devices previously not connected to the network,” said Alan Forman, president, Altronix Corporation. “LINQ will significantly impact how integrators design and deploy networked systems, as well as how users manage their systems moving forward.”

All LINQ enabled devices can be easily accessed for real-time status monitoring.

When a condition is detected, LINQ will report via email or SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) to designated parties. All events are stored in a detailed event log on a product by product basis.

Application Program Interfaces (API) are available to integrate the LINQ Dashboard Central Management Software with partnered systems solutions. This enables VMS and access control platforms to be easily integrated with LINQ enabled devices onto a single platform for comprehensive system control, monitoring and diagnostics.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
