Blair owned one of the largest independent electro-optic suppliers in Europe. He has now started BBN International to address the re-emerging fibre-optic markets of datacom, telecom, aerospace and sensors. An Electronic Engineer, Blair developed marine satellite communication and medical image analysis systems going on to develop a software business. BBN International is based in rural Shropshire and is committed to changing the way companies do business to the benefit of the environment. Many network installations already have recently purchased high performance switches in place but they lack Power over Ethernet (PoE). New PoE network devices offer great opportunities for easy installation of new users, add-ons and peripherals without costly, time consuming and messy additional power wiring (and separate power blocks).
A new family of PoE injectors allows existing switches to be retained and all the functionality of fully managed PoE to be provided along existing CAT-5 wiring.
With the following functional modules available most installations can be easily upgraded to PoE:
- 24 Port Managed PoE Injector
- 1 Port
- PoE Splitter (for supplying power to non-PoE devices)
- Managed Power Supply
Features of the PoE injectors include:
- 15.4W per port
- In-built UPS functionality (from external 48V battery/PSU)
- 10/100 TX switch compatible
- Fully managed (CLI/Web/SNMP)
- RS232 agent for UPS(UPWM) monitoring and control
- PoE Splitter has selectable output voltage
- Supports 802.3af and Pre-Standard PD (Cisco legacy PD)
BBN International supplies this and other MICROSENS technology. For more information visit the web site at http://www.bbnint.co.uk/network_systems/index.asp
