Ensure Your Cloud Migration Strategy is Robust, Reliable, and Secure
Organizations in all industries are moving to hosted, or Cloud-based, IP solutions for communication, security, and other IoT applications. However, many organizations are faced with challenges while planning their cloud migration strategy, as they attempt to effectively connect each IP endpoint to applications in the Cloud. The industry is starting to realize that the core issue has nothing to do with the endpoint or the application. The core issue is LAN topology and determining the best way to connect each IP endpoint to the D-mark (router) on-site, before connecting to the off-site application.
Cloud-based solutions are attractive because the organization doesn’t need to manage the application. The expectation is that modernizing to a hosted solution will be simple and quick. However, the Cloud provider is often not responsible for the local area network, leaving the organization with this large task. These LAN readiness requirements can significantly increase project complexity and risk – while stalling the deployment.
LAN readiness costs can quickly become the reason these projects are delayed, sometimes indefinitely. Many network providers will still recommend that the customer rip-and-replace existing infrastructure and layer the new IP solution onto the core data network. This requires a massive capital investment that the organization did not originally plan for. In addition, this approach negatively impacts the business through network downtime and brand risk from the disruption caused by the network overhaul.
Layering IP applications onto the primary data network also increases ongoing management costs and complexity for IT teams. This LAN strategy often results in system reliability and security concerns as more and more endpoints and applications are added. To effectively support a Cloud-based IP solution, it is critical to establish a robust and effective local area network strategy and topology.
A Complete End-to-End Solution
The Modern LAN is an enhancement on traditional LAN design philosophies; developed by industry analysts at Frost & Sullivan. Modern LAN design synergizes the technological advancements of the Cloud with the reliability and performance of a robust and secure LAN topology. Modern LAN design solves the number one issue with hosted solutions; effectively connecting each and every IP endpoint on the local area network to the router.
Instead of ripping out existing and proven infrastructure, NVT Phybridge Power over Ethernet switches and extenders leverage existing point-to-point network infrastructure to create a physically separate network for new IP applications. This removes the tremendous capital investment needed to rip and replace the existing and proven infrastructure. Additionally, this prevents the need to layer voice onto the core data network; simplifying LAN management for IT teams.
The NVT Phybridge CHARIoT series of long-reach Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches allow organizations to transform existing network infrastructures into robust IP backbones for any hosted solution. The resulting network is physically separate and point-to-point; creating robust and cyber-secure pathways for each device. These smart pathways ensure optimal performance and reliability for any Cloud-based solution.

The Port of Alexandria is the main port in Egypt, handling approximately 55% of the country’s international trade. The port is located in the city of Alexandria, the second-largest city in Egypt, where the Nile River meets the Mediterranean Sea. The port was relying on an outdated analog CCTV surveillance system that could no longer meet the growing demands of the organization and decided to modernize to a new IP surveillance solution.
The organization encountered several challenges as they planned the digital transformation. The new IP security cameras would need to be deployed in several zones across the massive port that spans more than 22 km2. Discussions were held around ripping out the existing coax-based infrastructure and installing Ethernet and fiber-optic cabling throughout the facility. However, the organization was hesitant to apply this strategy due to extremely high infrastructure costs and long deployment times. Additionally, this strategy would severely disrupt the daily operations of the port, which moves more than 17 million tons of cargo annually. Unsatisfied with the traditional approach to network design, the Port of Alexandria searched for an alternative solution.
Modern LAN Innovation
The Technical Research Department of Egypt discovered NVT Phybridge and its award-winning IP over Coax solutions. The agency recommended the solution to the Port of Alexandria, which engaged with a digital transformation specialist from NVT Phybridge. The organization was impressed with the solution but was unsure if it would work in their environment, given the immense scale of the project.
NVT Phybridge helped the customer schedule a no-obligation proof-of-concept to test the Modern LAN enabling solution. After a few simple setup steps, the enterprise-grade CLEER24 PoE switch transformed the existing Coax-based infrastructure into a robust and secure IP backbone for the new IP cameras. The CLEER24 solution allowed the customer to extend data and power over Coax with up to 6,000ft (1,830m) reach; 18 times farther than standard PoE switches.
The Port of Alexandria was impressed with the solution and was confident that Modern LAN design would allow them to achieve a simple, secure, and cost-effective upgrade to IP. The customer was completely satisfied, as they leveraged Modern LAN principles 2, 3, and 4 to achieve incredible results.
Principle #2: Create a secure and robust local area network – The Port of Alexandria established a secure and robust Power over Ethernet (PoE) backbone for their new IP system by leveraging their existing and reliable Coax-based infrastructure. The CLEER24 switch allowed the customer to maintain a physically separate and cyber secure point-to-point IP network for surveillance, ensuring zero disruption and risk to the core network.
Principle #3: Use new long-reach PoE innovations to maximize ROI – by leveraging the existing coax-based infrastructure and avoiding an extensive infrastructure overhaul, the customer significantly reduced their costs and accelerated the deployment.
Principle #4: Modernize to IP using an environmentally responsible framework – by avoiding the traditional and outdated rip-and-replace model, the Port of Alexandria prevented over 15 tons of e-waste during its digital transformation.
Improved Return on Investment
The CLEER24 solution helped simplify the customer’s IP modernization project while establishing a robust and cybersecure network to support the IP cameras. The organization took a proactive approach to find new and better ways to support their digital transformation objectives in a financially and socially responsible manner. NVT Phybridge helped the customer change the conversation around traditional LAN design; leveraging Modern LAN Principles and PoE innovations to:
Significantly reduce project costs and deployment times, having avoided extensive infrastructure changes and construction work across the facility
Deploy more than 350 new IP cameras in 9 locations across the 22 km2 port thanks to the CLEER24’s repeatable, predictable and scalable deployment methodology
Modernize surveillance capabilities across the facility without installing any additional IDF closets
Eliminate disruption during the deployment
Prevent over 15 tons of cabling e-waste

If you’ve had a conversation with someone at NVT Phybridge, you may have noticed that we speak a little differently. We speak differently because we are different. We’re swimming upstream when all other fish are swimming downstream. We’re driving towards the storm when everyone else is driving away from the storm.
We are different because we are innovators. We think differently, act differently, and speak differently in an effort to deliver on the founding promise of our organization; to bring only the most innovative solutions to market that are practical for both partners and customers. To be different we must also be bold. We must challenge deep-rooted industry paradigms to prove that IP modernization doesn’t need to be complex, cost-prohibitive, and risky.
Digital transformation and the Internet of Things (IoT) have become a necessity for businesses that wish to remain competitive. However, as organizations become more intelligent and connected, their networks become more complex and less secure.
To solve this problem, we are fundamentally changing the conversation around traditional LAN design philosophies to improve the outcome for our partners and customers. This single-purpose will drive every decision we make, from the products we develop to the partnerships we engage in, to the impact we have on our communities, and especially – to the way we communicate.
IP migration is a term used in our industry to describe the process of moving from older technology to IP-based technology. For example, upgrading from an analog communication system to an IP voice solution. However, these organizations are not really “moving” from one technology to another, as the term “IP migration” would suggest. Organizations are “modernizing” their businesses with new technologies and innovations that allow them to do more than ever before.
Therefore, aligned with our commitment to change the conversation, we must also change the way we communicate. We use the term “IP modernization” where the industry would use the term “IP migration” because we don’t’ help our customers move from one technology to another. We help our customers modernize to the next generation of intelligent devices; giving them the tools they need to succeed – today and into the future.
Rethinking Network Design with Modern LAN Principles
We are not the only organization to recognize the need for innovation in an industry that sells innovations. In 2018, industry analysts from Frost & Sullivan recognized this gap and consulted NVT Phybridge as innovators in this space as they developed their revolutionary whitepaper titled, The Modern LAN: Rethinking Network Design for the Modern Age. As the title suggests, the whitepaper addresses critical issues with current LAN design philosophies as organizations continue to add more and more devices onto the network; including cybersecurity, reliability, performance, ROI, and environmental impact. Our PoLRE® switch was featured in the whitepaper as a successful application of Modern LAN Principles. The Modern LAN whitepaper is another justification of our corporate mission to help organizations change the conversation to improve the outcome of their digital transformation.
Not every company has the opportunity to affect real change, but we do. Since our first product launch in 2008, we have had the pleasure of helping thousands of organizations around the world simplify their digital transformation. And still, so much potential lies ahead of us as we work to enable the future of connected devices.
Today, our CHARIoT series of long-reach Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches and adaptors enable Modern LAN Principles; helping organizations simplify their upgrade to the latest IP solution with the freedom to leverage any new or existing infrastructure.
CHARIoT Series of Long Reach Power over Ethernet Switches
The NVT Phybridge CHARIoT series of long reach PoE solutions is comprised of three distinct product families:
PoLRE (Power over Long Reach Ethernet) family enables IP endpoints over single-pair UTP (unshielded twisted pair) up to 1,200ft (365m) – 4 times farther than standard PoE switches.
CLEER (Coax-Leveraged Ethernet Extended Reach) family enables IP endpoints over coax up to 6,000ft (1,830m) – 18 times farther than standard PoE switches.
FLEX family enables IP endpoints over multi-pair UTP up to 2,000ft (610m) – 6 times farther than standard PoE switches.
Our greatest potential is ahead of us…
We look to the future with a clear vision and a singular purpose; to help our customers change the conversation to improve their outcome. This commitment builds on the ideals that inspired our founders to start this company over 10 years ago and will continue to be the driving force behind every decision we make.

A federal agency needed to improve communication capabilities in one of its iconic buildings. The agency decided to modernize from its aging digital phone system to a new comprehensive Cisco IP solution. However, the organization was extremely concerned with the inevitable disruptions caused by ripping and replacing the existing voice infrastructure to support the new IP phones. To make matters worse, the building was constructed in the late 1,700’s and is considered a historical landmark. Any renovations or building modifications would require multiple permits; resulting in significantly extended deployment times and increased project costs. The agency required an innovative solution that would allow them to complete their digital transformation within the defined schedule and budget.Given the organization’s needs, Cisco introduced the agency’s Network Chief to technology partner, NVT Phybridge, who helped change the conversation around traditional LAN design philosophies. Using Frost & Sullivan’s Modern LAN Principles, the agency discovered that they could leverage their existing voice infrastructure to deploy the new Cisco IP communication solution without the high costs and disruption associated with the traditional rip-and-replace mentality.NVT Phybridge introduced the customer to the PoLRE® (Power over Long Reach Ethernet) switch and organized a no-obligation proof-of-concept to prove the solution in the agency’s environment.

BOOK A MEETINGPort of Alexandria Deploys 350 IP Cameras Using NVT Phybridge CLEER24 Switches
NVT Phybridge Case Study: Port of Alexandria
The Port of Alexandria is the main port in Egypt, handling approximately 55% of the country’s international trade. The port is located in the city of Alexandria, the second-largest city in Egypt, where the Nile River meets the Mediterranean Sea. The port was relying on an outdated analog CCTV surveillance system that could no longer meet the growing demands of the organization and decided to modernize to a new IP surveillance solution.
The organization encountered several challenges as they planned the digital transformation. The new IP security cameras would need to be deployed in several zones across the massive port that spans more than 22 km2. Discussions were held around ripping out the existing coax-based infrastructure and installing Ethernet and fiber-optic cabling throughout the facility. However, the organization was hesitant to apply this strategy due to extremely high infrastructure costs and long deployment times. Additionally, this strategy would severely disrupt the daily operations of the port, which moves more than 17 million tons of cargo annually. Unsatisfied with the traditional approach to network design, the Port of Alexandria searched for an alternative solution.
Modern LAN Innovation
The Technical Research Department of Egypt discovered NVT Phybridge and its award-winning IP over Coax solutions. The agency recommended the solution to the Port of Alexandria, which engaged with a digital transformation specialist from NVT Phybridge. The organization was impressed with the solution but was unsure if it would work in their environment, given the immense scale of the project.
NVT Phybridge helped the customer schedule a no-obligation proof-of-concept to test the Modern LAN enabling solution. After a few simple setup steps, the enterprise-grade CLEER24 PoE switch transformed the existing Coax-based infrastructure into a robust and secure IP backbone for the new IP cameras. The CLEER24 solution allowed the customer to extend data and power over Coax with up to 6,000ft (1,830m) reach; 18 times farther than standard PoE switches.
The Port of Alexandria was impressed with the solution and was confident that Modern LAN design would allow them to achieve a simple, secure, and cost-effective upgrade to IP. The customer was completely satisfied, as they leveraged Modern LAN principles 2, 3, and 4 to achieve incredible results.
Principle #2: Create a secure and robust local area network – The Port of Alexandria established a secure and robust Power over Ethernet (PoE) backbone for their new IP system by leveraging their existing and reliable Coax-based infrastructure. The CLEER24 switch allowed the customer to maintain a physically separate and cyber secure point-to-point IP network for surveillance, ensuring zero disruption and risk to the core network.
Principle #3: Use new long-reach PoE innovations to maximize ROI – by leveraging the existing coax-based infrastructure and avoiding an extensive infrastructure overhaul, the customer significantly reduced their costs and accelerated the deployment.
Principle #4: Modernize to IP using an environmentally responsible framework – by avoiding the traditional and outdated rip-and-replace model, the Port of Alexandria prevented over 15 tons of e-waste during its digital transformation.
Improved Return on Investment
The CLEER24 solution helped simplify the customer’s IP modernization project while establishing a robust and cybersecure network to support the IP cameras. The organization took a proactive approach to find new and better ways to support their digital transformation objectives in a financially and socially responsible manner. NVT Phybridge helped the customer change the conversation around traditional LAN design; leveraging Modern LAN Principles and PoE innovations to:

BOOK A MEETINGIP Migration vs IP Modernization; NVT Phybridge is Changing the Conversation
IP Modernization Made Simple
If you’ve had a conversation with someone at NVT Phybridge, you may have noticed that we speak a little differently. We speak differently because we are different. We’re swimming upstream when all other fish are swimming downstream. We’re driving towards the storm when everyone else is driving away from the storm.
We are different because we are innovators. We think differently, act differently, and speak differently in an effort to deliver on the founding promise of our organization; to bring only the most innovative solutions to market that are practical for both partners and customers. To be different we must also be bold. We must challenge deep-rooted industry paradigms to prove that IP modernization doesn’t need to be complex, cost-prohibitive, and risky.
Digital transformation and the Internet of Things (IoT) have become a necessity for businesses that wish to remain competitive. However, as organizations become more intelligent and connected, their networks become more complex and less secure.
To solve this problem, we are fundamentally changing the conversation around traditional LAN design philosophies to improve the outcome for our partners and customers. This single-purpose will drive every decision we make, from the products we develop to the partnerships we engage in, to the impact we have on our communities, and especially – to the way we communicate.
IP migration is a term used in our industry to describe the process of moving from older technology to IP-based technology. For example, upgrading from an analog communication system to an IP voice solution. However, these organizations are not really “moving” from one technology to another, as the term “IP migration” would suggest. Organizations are “modernizing” their businesses with new technologies and innovations that allow them to do more than ever before.
Therefore, aligned with our commitment to change the conversation, we must also change the way we communicate. We use the term “IP modernization” where the industry would use the term “IP migration” because we don’t’ help our customers move from one technology to another. We help our customers modernize to the next generation of intelligent devices; giving them the tools they need to succeed – today and into the future.
Rethinking Network Design with Modern LAN Principles
We are not the only organization to recognize the need for innovation in an industry that sells innovations. In 2018, industry analysts from Frost & Sullivan recognized this gap and consulted NVT Phybridge as innovators in this space as they developed their revolutionary whitepaper titled, The Modern LAN: Rethinking Network Design for the Modern Age. As the title suggests, the whitepaper addresses critical issues with current LAN design philosophies as organizations continue to add more and more devices onto the network; including cybersecurity, reliability, performance, ROI, and environmental impact. Our PoLRE® switch was featured in the whitepaper as a successful application of Modern LAN Principles. The Modern LAN whitepaper is another justification of our corporate mission to help organizations change the conversation to improve the outcome of their digital transformation.
Not every company has the opportunity to affect real change, but we do. Since our first product launch in 2008, we have had the pleasure of helping thousands of organizations around the world simplify their digital transformation. And still, so much potential lies ahead of us as we work to enable the future of connected devices.
Today, our CHARIoT series of long-reach Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches and adaptors enable Modern LAN Principles; helping organizations simplify their upgrade to the latest IP solution with the freedom to leverage any new or existing infrastructure.
CHARIoT Series of Long Reach Power over Ethernet Switches
The NVT Phybridge CHARIoT series of long reach PoE solutions is comprised of three distinct product families:
PoLRE (Power over Long Reach Ethernet) family enables IP endpoints over single-pair UTP (unshielded twisted pair) up to 1,200ft (365m) – 4 times farther than standard PoE switches.
CLEER (Coax-Leveraged Ethernet Extended Reach) family enables IP endpoints over coax up to 6,000ft (1,830m) – 18 times farther than standard PoE switches.
FLEX family enables IP endpoints over multi-pair UTP up to 2,000ft (610m) – 6 times farther than standard PoE switches.
Our greatest potential is ahead of us…
We look to the future with a clear vision and a singular purpose; to help our customers change the conversation to improve their outcome. This commitment builds on the ideals that inspired our founders to start this company over 10 years ago and will continue to be the driving force behind every decision we make.
