Network integrated management software "PPS", switching hub "MS series" "GA-ML series"
Panasonic LS Networks Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Yoshio Shono, hereinafter referred to as Panasonic LS Networks), a wholly-owned consolidated company of Panasonic Corporation, will release network integrated management software "PPS" on January 31, 2022. On June 21, 2022, we will start offering the switching hubs "MS series" and "GA-ML series" with enhanced functions.
[Enhancement of network integrated management software "PPS"]
While IT systems are becoming more sophisticated and diversified, companies and facilities that cannot allocate full-time network management personnel due to lack of human resources There are also many Network integrated management software "PPS" can operate networks without a dedicated person, and simplifies and visualizes operations.
This time, it is newly linked with the network communication behavior detection function of the security device "iNetSec SF (*1)". We will add a function to detect abnormal communication behavior of terminals such as PCs connected to the network and identify their location early. As a result, it is possible to grasp the location of the infected terminal and realize prompt incident response.
With the addition of this function, in addition to the function to detect unauthorized PC connections outside the scope of conventional management, security measures have been strengthened and the stable operation of the network has been supported.
[Enhancement of Switching Hub "MS series" and "GA-ML series"] High-precision synchronization and coordinated operations are required among connected devices. Therefore, there are more opportunities to use PTP (*3), which achieves higher time synchronization accuracy than NTP (*2), which has been generally used for conventional time synchronization.
3 models of switching hub "MS series" and 16 models of "GA-ML series" are newly compatible with PTP. As a result, for example, the sXGP system (*4) achieves the high-precision time synchronization required to ensure the stability of mobile calls.
Both products will be offered at the same price even after the functional enhancement.
Panasonic LS Networks contributes to the realization of a comfortable and rich life through network equipment and software.

3. Provided
*1 iNetSec SF is a security appliance ( hardware) product.
*2 NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a network time synchronization standard that achieves time synchronization accuracy in milliseconds (thousandths of a second).
*3 PTP (Precision Time Protocol) is a network time synchronization standard that achieves time synchronization in units of microseconds (one-millionth of a second).
*4 Independent LTE system to replace in-house PHS. No license is required for use, and since it uses radio waves in the 1.9 GHz frequency band, there is little interference with Wi-Fi radio waves.
