“Free Guide to Power over LAN”
An Overview - What is Power over LAN?
Power over LAN integrates the power source onto the same cable infrastructure as the IP data, eradicating the need to have AC power available at all the locations.
When used in conjunction with a centralised Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), Power over LAN ensures continuous operation during power failures by providing a distributed UPS solution. Power over LAN technology saves the time and cost of installing separate power cabling, AC outlets and wall warts, and eliminates the need for dedicated UPS for individual devices.
So compelling are the benefits of Power over LAN technology that most leading vendors have already incorporated it into their next generation devices. The majority of IP telephone sets and wireless LAN access points are already equipped to receive their operating power via the LAN.
