The global PoE market is expected to offer significant growth over the coming years as widespread adoption of IP telephony and increasing demand for network security cameras are projected to drive the industry demand. PoE devices encompass VoIP phones, IP Security Cameras, wireless access points, proximity sensors, door locks and other IoT devices. 802.3ac Wireless Access Points and pan-tilt-zoom cameras offer features such as night vision, built-in motion tracking, and HD options, which also require PoE+ power (802.3at), increasing the power demands from the PoE supplying switch.
However, typically, these wireless devices are widespread on the business premises for optimal coverage, surveillance and density management. These distant installations can therefore be hard to reach from a centralized IT room or closet, making it difficult for companies to deploy their IP or PoE devices efficiently.
As a leading provider of network equipment for SMBs, NETGEAR understands the importance of providing a flexible network that can adapt to the business’s needs, whether in the hospitality, catering, education or retail domains. That is why NETGEAR launched its industry-leading “Virtually AnywhereTM” PoE+ Click Switch.
The GSS108EPP 8-port PoE+ Click Switch joins the NETGEAR Click Switch family, adding PoE+ support for “Virtually AnywhereTM” deployment of modern wireless devices.
