At Interop Berlin 2007, Microsemi will be introducing new PoE midspans and integrated solutions that supply operating power via Ethernet cables to voice over IP (VoIP) phones, IP-based cameras and wireless LAN access point devices. Microsemi’s PoE products can reduce the time and costs associated with installation of such end-devices because the technology eliminates the need to wire additional AC outlets.
Visitors to the Microsemi exhibit will have an opportunity to learn about the company's new PD-7001G high-power 1-port gigabit power over Ethernet midspan addition to its PowerDsine product portfolio.
The PowerDsine PD-7001G is designed as an ideal solution for gigabit 802.11n access points, WiMAX CPE devices, thin clients, PTZ IP cameras and more. The single-port unit complies to the existing PoE 802.3af standard, but with double the power – supporting a minimum of 30W at the port output.

"We answered a request made by many of our customers to provide a solution for higher power, prior to the ratification of the next generation PoE 802.3at standard," said Amit Gilboa, product line manager for PowerDsine systems. "The 30W unit gives an optimal solution to PTZ cameras, 802.11n access points, WiMAX transmitters, video phones and more. Customers can prepare for 802.3at now, and have an intermediate solution."

The PD-7001G allows a safe and cost effective solution for Ethernet end terminals. More devices can be powered via the network, thus eliminating the need to use a power supply and to install costly power outlets close to the end device.

The gigabit interface makes the PD-7001G an ideal solution for gigabit 802.11n access points, WiMAX transmitters and video phones. Its high 80% efficiency assures low temperature inside the compact case that weighs only 350 grams.

Live demonstrations of PowerDsine midspans will be available at Microsemi’s Booth #A162.
