Antaira Delivers BABA Phase 2–Compliant Industrial Ethernet Switch, Unveils 100W PoE++ Model for Q1 2027

What happened

Antaira Technologies announced that its LMX-1204G-SFP-T-BABA Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch is fully compliant with Phase 2 of the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act, which took effect October 1, 2026; the switch is manufactured in the USA and available now. Under Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requirements, the domestic share of component costs for manufactured products rose to 55% on October 1, 2026, and at least 55% of the switch's component costs are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States, allowing system integrators, contractors, and agencies to deploy it on federally funded infrastructure projects without domestic content risk. Antaira also announced its next BABA-compliant platform, the LMP-1204G-SFP-bt-24-T-BABA, which adds up to 100W per port of IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ power to the series and is scheduled for production in Q1 2027; the upcoming model features four IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ ports delivering up to 100W per port, four IEEE 802.3at PoE+ ports delivering up to 30W per port, and four Gigabit SFP slots, with wide 12–55VDC power input. The company's BABA initiative launched in 2025, when it introduced the LMX-1204G-SFP-T-BABA and expanded its manufacturing into the United States.
