Siemens Communications, Inc.'s HiPath(R) Wireless 802.11n and Outdoor Access Points have been certified at Microsemi Corporation's PowerDsine(R) testing facility as the first 802.11n or Outdoor access points available today that are able to operate at the low power ratings specified in IEEE 802.3af standards for Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Microsemi, whose PowerDsine technology pioneered Power over Ethernet, conducts comprehensive testing of PoE end devices to assure successful installation of PowerDsine Midspan systems using certified devices. Siemens' 802.11n APs and Outdoor Access Points were the first to meet the requirements for PowerDsine Certification at the low power specified in 802.3af PoE standards for such deployments.
Siemens created HiPath(R) Wireless 802.11n APs to plug into existing PoE-enabled Ethernet ports. This allows enterprises to enjoy dual-band 3x3 MIMO and 802.11n high performance while offering the opportunity to save on deployment costs, thereby helping to increase their return on investment from network infrastructures built for the 802.3af PoE standard.
"To qualify for PowerDsine certification, we put PoE end devices through long and exhaustive testing," said Steve Litchfield, Microsemi Executive Vice President and President of Analog Mixed Signal Group. "It is a noteworthy achievement for Siemens to handle 802.11n requirements within the maximum 12.95 watts allowed by IEEE 802.3af."
