Moxa has more than 25 years of experience in computer networking and remote automation. Based in California, this manufacturer specialises in solutions for industrial Ethernet, wireless LAN routers and firewalls. Products are designed to be simple, robust and focussed on users. Moxa’s vision is to be a leading global supplier; the company currently supplies the transportation, energy, mining and marine sectors in over 70 countries with a corporate brand promise of "reliable networks, sincere service." Moxa is committed to providing customers with the best value switches, converters and network cards. For serial connectivity, Moxa offer serial port server solutions, compatible with copper-wired, fibre optic or wireless Ethernet LANs. Industrial interfaces include USB RS-232 converter hubs, Ethernet to serial converters, and serial device servers with integrated managed Ethernet switches. These enable multiple serial peripherals such as data collection terminals, automation hardware, climate control equipment and security IP surveillance cameras or security alarms to be connected to a single serial port. IP addressing is used to access devices remotely as though they were directly connected to the physical COM port on the server; this configuration is sometimes called an Ethernet modem. Finally, Moxa print and IO servers and accessories enable scalable implementations, ranging from office printers to commercial publishing.
