`Network-1 - PoE Applications
`
`APPLICATIONS FOR POWER OVER ETHERNET
`
`Major applications such as IP phones, access points and network cameras are currently
`the primary drivers of the PoE industry, as companies benefit from the cost-savings and
`flexibility. But as an evolutionary technology, the list of Power over Ethernet
`applications grows longer each day, ranging from industrial and building control to PoE-
`enabled guitars. And in the near future, higher powered devices might also benefit from
`PoE: The IEEE has formed a study group specifically for “PoE Plus”, a prospective
`standard for powering devices up to 40W. This would allow PoE options for cell phones,
`laptops and a host of other devices

`
`MAJOR APPLICATIONS
`IP Phones: Voice-over-IP phones (VOIP) allow the delivery of phone signals over a data
`network rather than the traditional telephone lines. Power over Ethernet addresses
`one of the primary concerns of VOIP: reliability and flexibility. PoE enabled IP phones
`receive uninterrupted power through the network, without the need for an AC outlet for
`each phone. Most IP phones released in the past 12-18 months are PoE-enabled
`
`WLAN: Wireless access points transmit data wirelessly to laptops and other portable
`devices. Placement of access points is crucial to creating an effective wireless network.
`PoE-enabled access points can be placed in strategic locations – such as ceilings – out
`of reach of electrical outlets. In an enterprise setting, this can substantially reduce the
`cost installation costs.
`
`Security Cameras and Devices: Security cameras are traditionally located near
`electrical outlets, which limits their effectiveness. Utilizing the data network for cameras
`and access control devices on ceilings, hallways, lobbies, or outdoor areas is
`significantly less expensive (savings estimates range from $500 to $1000 per device)
`with PoE.
`
`RFID: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) uses radio waves to identify a tagged
`item. An RFID reader sends a signal to an RFID tag, which identifies the item. Similar
`to wireless access points, PoE allows RFID readers to be strategically situated in
`locations that optimize effectiveness. RFID adoption has been jump-started by Wal-
`Mart and the U.S. Department of Defense, which have begun to require vendors to use
`the technology.
