Introduction, Features, Purpose | Airlink101 AGSW808POE specification

1. Introduction

Power Over Ethernet (PoE) is an evolving technology designed to simultaneously deliver power and transmit data through an Ethernet cable. Modeling after the technology used in telecommunication systems which supplies power to telephones, PoE powers network device without the need of AC electrical outlets. By eliminating the power cords and the power infrastructure, the technology greatly simplifies the wiring and deployment matters and brings lots of convenience and benefits in home, office, and industrial environments.
