Deployment Flexibility
Since PoE PDs may be deployed up to hundreds of feet away from AC outlets, the location
flexibility of PDs simplifies cabling layout and power restrictions. Systems like IP cameras
and wireless access points can be located in more secured locations to avoid intentional
tampering.
Reliability
PoE architecture allows centralized power management by managing the PSE to an
uninterruptable power supply (UPS) system. By attaching a battery backup system to the PSE,
the PD is guaranteed power even when there is a main power failure.
Outdoor PoE Challenges
Outdoor PoE applications pose new challenges for outdoor PSE systems. With increasing
demand for cost effective IP devices, many new PDs are now operating both indoors and
outdoors. IP video camera systems used to monitor the inside of buildings are now finding
their way onto street lights and utility poles for public safety and traffic monitoring. The core
challenges of powering outdoor PDs are:
•
Inclement Weather Conditions
•
Transient Voltage Surges
•
Extreme Temperature Ranges
•
AC Power Source Location
•
Power Reliability
•
Diverse PD voltage types
•
PD Lock-Up
Inscape Data Corporation, the leader in wireless and IP video systems’ introduction of the
LinkPower LPS1000 Adjustable Voltage Outdoor PoE Switch based on Inscape Data’s
patent-pending proprietary technology tackles the challenges of outdoor PoE applications. The
LPS1000 is a unique and powerful outdoor 5-port Ethernet Switch with an adjustable voltage
feature. Based on our patent-pending technology, the LPS1000 offers four discrete voltage
levels, which covers a wide range of outdoor network and security application opportunities
and significantly reduces the complexity of outdoor network installation, integration and
ongoing network maintenance.
