Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology sends direct current (DC) to network devices over a single Cat5e or Cat 6 Ethernet cable. This highly-popular DC delivery solution is an economical way to power an ever-increasing range of enterprise network devices—LANs, LED lighting, display screens, monitoring systems, security cameras, biometric door locks, and more. It’s no secret […]

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a novel power supply for Ethernet-connected devices. Eliminating the need for separate power supplies and outlets, it offers an efficient approach to motor design for motion control. Let’s walk through the basics of PoE and learn how the process can apply to motion control applications. What Is PoE? PoE refers […]
The Ethernet Alliance has launched an oral-history archive called the Voices of Ethernet that narrates Ethernet technology’s journey from its inception in 1973 to what it is today. The purpose is to preserve Ethernet history for future generations through a collection of oral interview recordings with the pioneers of Ethernet. The history shares engaging personal […]
A flood of data engulfs today’s business environment, which changes how companies handle computing. That explains why enterprises are increasingly adopting edge computing, an IT framework that processes data at the point of generation — the edge. Though it serves a similar role as remote data centers, edge computing has several benefits. It reduces latency, […]
George Moore answered the question of how long technology lasts in 1965. In fact, his answer became known as Moore’s Law. “The number of transistors incorporated in a chip will approximately double every 24 months.”—Gordon Moore, Intel co-founder. Transistors form the circuitry needed to power computer chips. As the number of transistors increases, so does […]
Over the past ten years, the world has been on a journey of unparalleled connectivity. As a result, most Americans today have access to super-fast internet networks that have revolutionized how we live, work, learn, and play. However, as a global internet leader, the United States must stay ahead of demand. To that end, technologies […]
Businesses of all sizes and stripes generate tons of video content every day. And recently, it has become clear that this data can be a valuable asset. The use of video analytics can help a company extract the most useful data from the vast pool of video content gathered. This beneficial information can be used […]
An Ethernet switch is the backbone of a company’s network. It connects vital networking devices (laptops, computers, servers, etc.) to a local area network (LAN). Switches function similarly to a hub; however, they are more efficient. They accept incoming data, determine the IP address of its source, then assign a specific port, therefore eliminating any […]
When one hears the term “flat-panel display,” the first thing that may come to mind is a modern 21st-century classroom where a teacher gives lessons on an interactive flipchart to students using smart whiteboards. And this vision would not be wrong. However, this technology is being adopted into many other industries, such as: Automotive Banking […]
