With the arrival of wireless technology, Power over Ethernet (PoE) may seem to be outdated technology. Not so. Power over Ethernet is crucial for powering devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points over the same UTP cable used for data. In the early days, PoE technology was a sort of mixed […]
Building out an IT network or network expansion can be as fast or as gradual as your business requires. These days, network expansion is not an “if” but “when” proposition. Security Today estimates an average of 127 devices1 connect to the Internet every second. This ever-increasing rate of connectivity means that the infrastructure needed to […]
Internet Protocol (IP) and analog camera systems continue to dominate company surveillance strategies despite top technologies like artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things tops in cybersecurity trends in 2020. Since IP cameras don’t have the cabling requirements that analog cameras have and have more megapixels for higher resolution, they tend to be holistically cost-effective, […]
Is your LED lighting system vulnerable to cyber intruders? One of the hottest issues right now regarding the Internet of Things (IoT) is security. As more things become connected, new levels of exposure are discovered. Smart lighting is a good example. Other terms for “smart” might be connected, IoT, Industrial Control System, and Operational Technology […]
Security Today estimates more than 31 billion connected IoT devices to be connected by the end of 2020, experts are expecting this number to grow to 75 billion by 2025. These days, end-users and the devices they use are asking more from networks. Where once existed simple A to B network configurations, we find mesh […]
This blog gets its inspiration from an article that originally appeared on Gensler.com, titled The Office Building of The Future Should Be An Essential Part of Its Community, based on a review of the breakthrough technologies and design found in Two Legacy West Concept in Plano, Texas.
“IoT is already well established and still set to grow, with more than 41 billion IoT devices in use by 2027. What’s more, Gartner predicts that more than 80 percent of enterprise IoT projects will include an AI component by 2022.”

A PoE camera system is an excellent way to monitor a business or home. More cost-effective and efficient than traditional surveillance equipment, PoE set-ups are also easier to install and expand upon. With the PoE IP camera world changing rapidly, however, selecting the right system can be overwhelming. Here are a few considerations to take […]
A team of NASA scientists has turned to Ethernet to capture clear video footage on Mars. The use of a camera and a laser mounted on the front bumper of an autonomous or semi-autonomous planetary rover called the K-REX2 has solved image quality in airless environments. Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology connecting the camera and laser to sensors, takes advantage of power and data delivery capability over a single cable to run these low-powered smart devices (PD) in space.
The COVID pandemic lockdown had a substantial impact on the Ethernet market in the first quarter of 2020. Because people weren’t in the workplace, things like switch replacements were put on hold. It wasn’t the only factor, though, as things had already begun to slow somewhat toward the end of 2019. One very probable reason […]
