PowerDsine and Sifos Partner to Develop IEEE802.3at High-Power Power over Ethernet Solutions; Enabling Flexible Design of PSE's
16 August 2006 - 11:05PM
Business Wire
PowerDsine (Nasdaq: PDSN) and Sifos today announced that the two
companies will collaborate to deliver solutions that assist
customers to quickly design and verify Power over Ethernet (PoE)
solutions capable of delivering up to 56W of power. This
collaboration will ensure that implementers of pre-standard
High-Power PoE technology solutions will have available both
chipset solutions and the means of testing such solutions, thus
reducing time to market. Additionally, the planned collaboration
will continue so that as the standardization activities of the
IEEE802.3at committee evolve, both companies will adapt their
solutions in accordance with the new requirements of the standard
and help customers launch products in a quick and timely manner.
"With several customers' adoption of PowerDsine's new High-Power
PoE solution based on our PD83000 micro-controller, the ability to
test pre-standard High Power over Ethernet became important," said
Igal Rotem, CEO of PowerDsine. "Sifos' flexible PSA test equipment
allows customers to implement testing patterns according to the
latest updates based on the continued work of the IEEE802.3at task
force." "Sifos is pleased to be working with PowerDsine, an expert
in Power over Ethernet. We are able to gain access to the
information, expertise, and tools that can help us offer the best
possible test solutions to our customers going forward," said David
Lucia, CEO of Sifos. The collaboration between PowerDsine and Sifos
is important as it will likely facilitate the deployment of high
power applications in a simpler and more cost effective manner with
High-Power Power over Ethernet as the IEEE802.3at standard evolves.
About Power over Ethernet Technology PoE is a technology for wired
Ethernet, the most widely installed local area network technology
in use today. PoE allows the electrical power necessary for the
operation of each end-device to be carried by data cables rather
than by separate power cords. It minimizes the number of wires that
must be used in order to install the network, resulting in lower
cost, less downtime, easier maintenance and greater installation
flexibility. About PowerDsine PowerDsine Ltd. (NASDAQ:PDSN)
