At the upcoming Global Security Exchange (GSX) in 2026, barox and Gallagher will demonstrate their collaborative solutions aimed at enhancing security network management. Scheduled from 14-16 September at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, attendees can visit booth #3433 to witness the integration of barox Ethernet switches with Gallagher Security's acclaimed Command Centre.
The integration highlights the seamless merging of barox's Ethernet switches with the Gallagher Command Centre platform, offering advanced monitoring and diagnostics in a unified system. This allows for streamlined management of access control, security networks, and associated infrastructure.
Site management platform
The Gallagher Command Centre serves as a scalable platform for controlling security operations such as people management, access control, alarms, and reporting. With barox's integration, operators can manage and oversee network switches and IP devices without transitioning between different systems, thanks to the embedded Device Management System (DMS) within barox switches.
The DMS allows for remote actions like rebooting IP devices, conducting network diagnostics, and monitoring events, offering a comprehensive overview of security networks. This capability not only simplifies management but also speeds up issue resolution and minimises the need for on-site troubleshooting.

Site management platform
Gallagher Command Centre is a scalable security and site management platform used to manage people, access, alarms, reporting and other security operations from a centralised interface. Through its integration with barox, operators can also monitor and manage supported barox network switches and connected IP devices, without having to move between separate management systems.
The Gallagher Command Centre integration leverages barox’s embedded Device Management System (DMS), which is built into its switches and provides advanced network monitoring and diagnostic capabilities. Operators can remotely reboot supported IP devices and switch ports, run network diagnostics, monitor network events and gain greater visibility of connected devices, helping to simplify the management of complex security networks.
Complex security networks
For security teams, this can mean faster fault diagnosis and resolution, fewer unnecessary site visits, reduced support costs and improved network uptime. By bringing network infrastructure information into Command Centre, organisations can also reduce the need to rely on specialist network resources for routine troubleshooting and maintenance.
The integration is particularly relevant to North American organisations operating high-security and mission-critical environments, including government, critical infrastructure, education, transportation and data centre applications, where system availability, cybersecurity and rapid fault resolution are essential.
