Power over Ethernet (PoE) has quickly become a critical enabler in the evolving networking landscape. A highly flexible technology, PoE offers scalability, easy installation, cost-effectiveness, and quick deployment as a component of network upgrades or reconfigurations. It also simplifies adding new devices, offers specialized management, and allows the network to adapt according to need. […]
With regular advancements in technology, coupled with hard lessons from the COVID pandemic, 2023 comes with multiple IT trends. Most trends center on streamlining operational efficiency, improving data security, boosting business resiliency, and fueling growth. Since the trends are numberless, Versa Technology, an IT frontrunner supplying hardware used in PoE technology, has narrowed to 10 […]
An enterprise network is the foundation of any contemporary midsize to large organization. This complex infrastructure is difficult and expensive to build, maintain, manage, and secure—and is vital to smooth-running business operations. Therefore, it is crucial to know what an enterprise network is, what it consists of, and what it will look like in the […]
Since the mid to late 1990s, the standard for structured cabling systems for voice and data applications has been four-pair, balanced UTP, ScTP, or Sc/FTP cable, which these days supports up to 40Gbps on 30m of cable. This standard meets the myriad of bandwidth needs of users. With the explosion of the IoT and the […]
The Fourth Industrial Revolution continues to bring tremendous innovation; it also brings new challenges. These innovations and challenges are most apparent in today’s manufacturing landscape. Factories worldwide are increasingly shifting to the connectivity of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to supervise their manufacturing operations more closely. While this digital transformation brings significant efficiencies, it […]
The latest generation of Wi-Fi is Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax), which launched in the fall of 2019 and is now inching into the commercial market at a steady pace. In addition, we will soon be seeing Wi-Fi 6E, the first amendment of IEEE 802.11ax to support the state-of-the-art 6 GHz radio spectrum band. Even with […]
Li-Fi: Internet at the Speed of Light The demand for mobile communication is snowballing at a remarkable rate. According to the Cisco Visual Networking Index: Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast Update, 2017-2022,1 mobile data traffic is forecasted to increase to 77 exabytes per month by 2022. This figure is seven times greater than 2017 statistics. […]
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 […]
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 […]
Because Power over Ethernet (PoE) Powered Devices (PD) show up in user-facing smart-building deployments, they are ideal for collecting data. Moreover, the points where they are positioned and the kinds of data they collect make them extremely useful in the Machine-Learning (ML) space. In fact, you could say ML and PoE technologies have a symbiotic […]
