The
Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act
is a federal initiative designed to strengthen domestic manufacturing by requiring infrastructure projects that receive federal funding to use American-made materials, including iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials. Enacted as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), BABAA aims to boost U.S. industry, create jobs, and ensure taxpayer dollars support American businesses.
Antaira's Industrial Switches Designed for BABA Phase 2
Antaira's industrial switch model
LMX-1204G-SFP-T-BABA
complies with Phase Two of the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act, ensuring domestic sourcing for federally funded infrastructure projects. This model is the first in a series of BABA compliant network switches. Engineered for reliable, high-performance networking, this industrial switch provides connectivity for transportation, energy, and manufacturing. With Ethernet, fiber connectivity, and industrial-grade durability, it will support applications in harsh environments while maintaining BABA compliance. Featuring a rugged metal housing, wide temperature tolerance, and redundant power input, it is built for long-term reliability in extreme conditions. Whether deployed in railway systems, smart city projects, or industrial automation, Antaira’s industrial switch ensures seamless connectivity while supporting American infrastructure growth.
• Complies with October 1, 2026 BABA Phase 2 Requirements
• 55%+ of Component Costs Mined, Produced, or Manufactured in USA
Expanding the BABA Product Line
Antaira is developing its next BABA-compliant industrial Ethernet switch model, the
LMP-1204G-SFP-bt-24-T-BABA
, expanding the series to applications requiring high-power Power-over-Ethernet. The 12-port industrial managed switch will support four IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ ports with up to 100W per port, four IEEE 802.3at PoE+ ports with up to 30W per port, and four Gigabit SFP fiber slots, allowing connected devices to receive both network connectivity and high-power PoE through Ethernet cabling. A wide 12 to 55VDC voltage input range is designed to provide additional deployment flexibility for industrial, infrastructure and mobile solar trailer applications where lower-voltage DC power sources are available.
The
LMX-1204G-SFP-T-BABA
is available today and complies with the BABA Phase 2 requirements. Antaira is currently accepting pre-orders for the new model
LMP-1204G-SFP-bt-24-T-BABA
, with production estimated for 2027.
