Daniel J SaitAntiference has announced the introduction of the Clear Flow Cloud (CFC), a cloud-based control system giving the ability to remotely manage networks.
There are many cloud-based control systems in the market already so what makes the Clear Flow Cloud special? The CFC has been designed to work with Clear Flow systems, but is not limited to these system types specifically, explains the company. The Antiference development team has come up with a solution which enables cloud-based control of many other network devices if required.
These types of devices could be (but probably not limited to) CCTV NVR/DVRs, managed Ethernet switches, routers, commercial signage systems and other similar use case senarios. Basically, anything which can be networked and has an on-board GUI can work with the Clear Flow Cloud.
Dan Winterton, Sales and Marketing Director, says, “At Antiference we have been developing network products since 2018 to accompany our TV reception and distribution products as the way we watch TV and access content has changed and our reliance on the internet has become part of everyday life.
“Clear Flow networking products have proven a popular and reliable wireless solution for creating and extending Wi-Fi networks and now a new addition to this range will enable remote cloud control of these systems.”
Dan adds, “The Clear Flow Cloud (CFC) has been developed for commercial or domestic installations where the integrator or client wants an improved service by adding a remote cloud-based control system giving the ability to identify network issues should they occur.
As technology moves on and the world we live in changes, the services and products we offer must and have to change to adapt to the demands and expectations of the market.
“The Clear Flow Cloud system is all managed via our secure portal and with a set of unique login credentials, users can have access to their installations, make changes, update firmware etc or simply access devices remotely and securely via the cloud.”
Antiference provides the cloud portal services for free as part of a commitment to the industry and the market ensuring customers get the best possible solution.
Integrators can apply for a unique 5-digit user ID via the Antiference website and when the CFC ‘black box’ is installed in the system, this user ID is set in the CFC UI pairing the system with the integrator’s personal portal. Once the CFC is installed, Clear Flow access points can be found via the on-board discovery tool and other devices may be added manually via their MAC & IP addresses and then found on the network and accessed remotely via the portal.
Dan concludes, “This simple to use and versatile system is a game changer for cloud-based systems, allowing integrators to provide a better service to their customers offering secure access to a system from anywhere in the world!”
