A government-owned industrial site needed a reliable, high-speed fiber distribution switch to interconnect multiple buildings and surveillance zones across a large outdoor facility. Previous installations failed due to exposure to dust, moisture, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Limited rack space and power constraints further complicated the deployment.

ALFA TECH’s Solution:
ALFA TECH installed the MikroTik CRS310-1G-5S-4S+OUT (NetFiber 9)—a compact, weatherproof, and high-performance outdoor switch equipped with 5× 1G SFP ports, 4× 10G SFP+ ports, and 1× Gigabit Ethernet with PoE-in. The CRS310’s rugged IP66-rated enclosure ensured durability against environmental challenges, while its powerful switch chip delivered wire-speed forwarding between all ports.

Fiber connections were established between distant checkpoints and control rooms, enabling seamless surveillance feeds, SCADA traffic, and VoIP communications. The device was mounted on an existing pole, eliminating the need for a cabinet or indoor rack setup.

Customer Satisfaction:
The facility’s IT department praised the CRS310’s compact form factor, reliable fiber performance, and silent operation. Thanks to its outdoor-ready build and flexible power input, the deployment was quick and cost-effective. ALFA TECH’s choice of the NetFiber 9 resulted in a future-proof fiber backbone with zero weather-related failures.
