How can you make corporate spaces truly smart?
The move to hybrid working and a more dynamic workforce that interfaces with their place of work is driving organizations of every size and structure to reevaluate their approach to their corporate real estate. The emphasis has shifted from merely providing functional corporate spaces to truly smart buildings that prioritize occupant well-being, productivity, and safety.
With the adoption of hybrid and remote working, the demand for exceptional corporate environments is higher than ever. Companies must go beyond average to entice employees back to the office and attract new talent. The question arises: How can we create outstanding workspaces that combine the comforts of home with the collaborative energy of the office?
The Power of PoE Streamlines Smart Buildings
Delivering DC power to connected devices over low-voltage structured cabling systems with remote powering technology like power over Ethernet (PoE) reduces cost and material and improves safety, energy efficiency, and maintenance in smart buildings—all while driving opportunity for additional connected devices and use cases.
PoE technology has advanced to power everything from wireless access points, security devices, and LED lights to digital displays, point-of-sale machines, and building automation devices. Deploying cabling infrastructure that delivers remote power to a wide range of smart building devices requires cables and connectivity with superior remote powering support –that’s Siemon’s innovative PowerGUARD® technology.
- Patented crowned contacts on jacks maintain network integrity by eliminating damage caused by unmating powered connections.
- Advanced shielding and a 75°C operating temperature on field-terminated plugs, cables, and patch cords effectively dissipate heat caused by PoE.
