Key Digital, a developer and manufacturer of digital video processing and video signal distribution solutions, has added Linksys LGS328MPC and LGS352MPC managed network switches to its network equipment for use with its AV over IP systems, according to a press release. As an AV over IP technology partner, Linksys, a provider of home and business Wi-Fi solutions, and its products combine with Key Digital's AV over IP ecosystem to provide ntegration-ready solutions.

To be considered for inclusion on Key Digital's network switch list, all products must pass a minimum of two months of in-house evaluation.

The verification process demanded a pressure testing environment in the Key Digital lab during which the products are run 24/7. The test included link aggregation stacking of five total Linksys MPC series switches to create a single network with 40 Gb fiber interconnects.

"Not only have they withstood the 24/7 testing, but our quality control engineers also report that the MPC series has the easiest web UI they have had the pleasure of working with," Jonathon Ferry, VP of product education and experience, said in the press release. "Our integrators know they can move forward confidently with products such as the Linksys LGS328MPC and LGS352MPC alongside our AV over IP line-up."

Key Digital also resells Linksys LGS328MPC and LGS352MPC managed network switches. The alliance allows Key Digital to offer a turnkey solution for AV over IP with pre-configuration on the encoders, decoders, and network switches for entire system verification.
