  • Rural communities to receive new fire appliances

    Two new fire appliances will soon be available for emergencies in rural areas of Hastings. The trucks could be based in Rissington and Putorino and should replace smaller vehicles so one can be relocated to other areas.

    The new vehicles are purpose-built Isuzu NPS300s single-cab medium fire appliances, with a water tank capacity of 1800 litres. The National Rural Fire Authority subsidised the acquisition of the vehicles.

    The Rissington appliance replaces a utility fire vehicle with a 600 litre water tank and the Putorino appliance replaces a 1995 appliance with a 1,000 litre water tank.

    Deputy Mayor Cynthia Bowers says “It will be important that our rural residents believe that, in times of emergency, modern firefighting equipment is on the market. These two new appliances should be a chief breakthrough from the equipment that’s currently available at these rural stations.”

    Cynthia Bowers says “They are going to be used for firefighting of their respective rural areas but would be available for deployment to other parts of the district if required.

    NEXCOM’s 1U network security appliances—NSA 5130, NSA 5130HA and NSA 5131—are faster, more reliable and secure than before with its new upgrade to the Intel? Xeon? Processor E3-1200v2 Family. This new update will further enhance network and computing performance, support newer security measures, and improve bandwidth utilization—all with lower power consumption. Therefore, they’re the appropriate platforms for prime-end Unified Threat Management (UTM), next generation firewalls, network routers, WAN optimization and every kind of network security applications.

    The upgraded network security appliances can further secure business assets using the newest technology from the Intel? Xeon? Processor E3-1200v2 Family. Advanced security measures inclusive of automatic data correction, Intel? OS Guard, Intel? Secure Key, Intel? AES-NI and Intel? TXT will protect network and crucial data while delivering unsurpassed performance and reliability.

    Using the Intel? Xeon? Processor E3-1200v2, users can enjoy as much as 32% performance-per-watt gain compared to previous generation processors. As well, the Tri-gate transistor technology incorporated within the 22nm processors reduces energy consumption by 50%, effectively increasing the products’ longevity, which lowers overall hardware maintenance and utility cost. Furthermore, a PCIe x8 expansion slot is included as an technique to add extra security features or network performance.

    Highly customizable, the NSA 5130 series might be fitted with swappable LAN modules with port combinations of eight coppers, eight SFPs, four coppers and SFPs, four SFPs and two 10Gbps SFP+ modules in addition to the present eight GbE copper ports. The 10Gbps connection provides large headroom for growth, great networking performance, which makes it perfect for backbone networks. While the NSA 5131 packs 6GbE copper ports at the side of two flexible GbE fiber ports that supports both single mode and multimode variants.

    To safeguard business continuity, NEXCOM’s appliances feature innovative Dual Latch LAN bypass function, which ensures network availability within the event of power outages. Our Dual Latch feature gives network administrators the ability to enable or disable LAN bypass on the off and on power state. To achieve the maximum level of uninterrupted operation, the NSA 5130HA is built with dual redundant, modular power supplies for extended reliability and availability.
