Today's security professionals are constantly seeking efficient solutions that enhance protection while managing limited resources including space, time, and money. The good news is that the introduction of the latest PoE standard - 802.3bt PoE – allows systems installers to have more of the space, time, and money they need. But to take advantage of the benefits afforded by this new standard, systems installers will also require adept power and transmission solutions to support the latest 802.3bt PoE devices – solutions like the new Altronix NetWaySP4BTWP Outdoor Hardened PoE Switch and the Altronix NetWay8BT 8-Port Managed 802.3bt Midspan Injector.
As long as there are security systems, there will be a need for power. And as long there is a need for solutions that are smarter, faster, and simpler than their predecessors, there will be innovation. These two truisms combined have led us to the latest Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard: the IEEE 802.3bt High Power PoE.
By eliminating high-voltage installation cost, integrators can better meet the needs of their clients. PoE solutions provide power to myriad edge security devices and must ensure operations even when power goes down. Today’s more advanced PoE solutions make designing and powering an access control system a simple plug-and-play experience. Learn how to simplify powering an access control system in this article.
