Optigo Networks joins Alerton’s Strategic Partner Program

Optigo and Alerton announce partnership
The Optigo Connect family offers easy-to-manage switches for healthy operational technology (OT) networks.

We are proud to share that we’re the exclusive building networks solutions partner for Alerton’s Strategic Partner Program. Our Optigo ConnectTM product line is now available for distribution through the Alerton Dealer Network. Together, Optigo and Alerton will offer improved building management and network connectivity with the Alerton Ascent VisualLogicTMIP (VIP) controllers and Optigo Connect’s HybridTM and SpectraTM solutions.

“We’re excited to work with Optigo Networks as its complementary technology allows us to provide better value and competitive advantages for our dealers and improved efficiency for building owners and operators,” says Alerton’s Product Evangelist, Kevin Callahan. “Pairing Optigo’s networking technology with our Ascent Building Management Solution creates a solution that is easy to implement, easy to manage, and even more powerful.” 

The Optigo Connect family offers easy-to-manage switches for healthy operational technology (OT) networks. With Optigo OneViewTM, users can connect IP devices across large distances while maintaining network management from a single location. OneClick SecureTM provides one-step network security, closing all open ports and locking used ports to the connected devices at the click of a button.

The Optigo Connect line pairs perfectly with Alerton’s newest release, the VisualLogicTMIP (VIP) Controllers. These advanced controllers feature industry-first support for both IPv4 and IPv6, providing a flexible, future-proof solution for building controls. With a real-time clock, high-resolution 16-bit universal inputs and outputs, and a 32-bit processor, these controllers seamlessly integrate with any BACnet system and can also be installed as a standalone controller. 

“We believe this partnership is a true alignment of shared values,” says Pook-Ping Yao, CEO of Optigo Networks. “Our highly resilient building network solutions, coupled with Alerton’s building controllers, will provide dealer and end users with a powerful and complete building management system that is easy to install and manage. We look forward to working with Alerton to drive innovations for buildings for today and tomorrow.”
