Who are we? N-TRON™ was founded in 1999 as a developer, manufacturer, and marketer of Ethernet network equipment for industrial applications. Our goal is to be internationally recognized as “The Industrial Network Company” N-TRON’s corporate headquarters are in Mobile, Alabama. Meeting a Market Need It is well established that technology products for industrial applications must be hardier than their commercial counterparts. A wide range of industrial computer equipment is available from a multitude of manufacturers. Equipment such as industrial PC’s, ruggedized laptops, control systems, Ethernet I/O, and data acquisition equipment are routinely provided that meet industrial requirements such as: Higher Operating Temperatures Higher Shock Tolerance Expanded Humidity Ranges Ruggedized Enclosures Convenient Industrial Mounting Capabilities Ruggedized versions of computing equipment are commonplace in factories today. A large portion of this equipment is connected to the corporate network. Since industrial networking equipment has not been available, nodes are typically connected with individual wiring drops to a climate controlled environment. This creates significant expense, complexity, and reliability issues. N-TRON solves this problem by providing a complete family of industrial networking equipment. This allows all Ethernet nodes (i.e. controllers, PLC’s, industrial computers, remote I/O, etc.) to be interconnected locally with high speed uplinks to the corporate network. Products N-TRON products are ideal for the interconnection of: Industrial PC’s Programmable Logic Controllers Ethernet I/O Distributed Control Systems All N-TRON switches are housed in ruggedized steel enclosures, designed to withstand the most demanding industrial applications, and have been fully tested and certified at industrial environmental extremes.
