Microsemi: Power-over-Ethernet for Wireless LAN Deployment

Published By

Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and Power-over-HDBaseT (PoH) can greatly ease the deployment and maintenance of indoor and outdoor WLAN access points and hotspots. Most of the WLAN infrastructure can benefit from PoE or PoH technology. PoE dramatically reduces the CAPEX in existing installations.

Microsemi is a leader in PoE and offers a complete PoE/PoH portfolio, allowing the usage of data infrastructure to deliver power, both indoor and outdoor.

Microsemi’s extensive Gigabit PoE system portfolio includes:

  • One-port midspans delivering up to 95 W, for indoor and outdoor deployment
  • PoE managed switches with optical or copper uplinks for outdoor deployment
  • Multi-ports managed PoE midspans with up to 95 W per port
  • Outdoor lightning protection devices
WLAN access points are deployed at hard to reach locations for radio frequency (RF) coverage. PoE powering allows convenient location and simple installation.

Managed PoE also allows remote power management including monitoring, remote reset and shutdown at pre-defined times.

In outdoor installations it is critical to ensure that a proper surge/lightning protection device (such as Microsemi’s PD-OUT/SP11) is used to protect the network equipment.

Microsemi’s PoE midspans can make the addition of PoE seamless, without the need to replace existing Ethernet switches.
