Educational institutions are primary users of Wireless LAN, IP Surveillance, and IP Telephony technologies, enabling students, teachers, and visitors to connect to the Internet in a flexible and easy manner while ensuring the safety of the institution's premises and campus.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology powers these applications through the Ethernet data cabling infrastructure, eliminating the need to install AC outlets near the terminals. This is particularly important for preserving historical buildings. Additionally, it allows significant savings in labor and materials required to install AC outlets throughout the buildings and campus. Furthermore, customers can maximize their return on investment (ROI) by retaining their existing LAN switch and adding PoE functionality through a Midspan.
