Good Ideas Lead to Good Innovations

• It wasnt that long ago!

• An idea eventually turns into a standardized
  innovation
• Solutions evolve and sophisticated products
  result

6
Standardization and Convergence

• While Networks become more complex, at the same
  time they become simplistic
• Standardization makes the development,
  deployment and use of new technologies easier
• Converging technologies make uptake faster and
  more economical

7
PoE - Smart Thinking

• Energy costs are a Black Hole for Corporations
  and Landlords alike
• There are no fixed operating costs for energy
• This has become prevalent with rising oil costs
  of late
• Imagine a building where
• Lighting is controlled by the available ambient
  light of the day and need
• Where the climate is automatically controlled by
  zoned occupancy

8
PoE of Tomorrow - Its Coming!

• If D/C power can be more easily controlled and is
  more efficient, where will this take us
• Smart buildings
• Access control
• Standardized (utilitarian) cabling systems
• LOWER ENERGY COSTS to compete in a global market
  space

9
PoE - Chip Technology Is Catching Up

• For a good example, look no further than your
  Cell phone
• Chip technology has made the Cell phone more
  efficient, smaller and more powerful at the same
  time
• This same technology is finding its way into the
  PC market with smaller, more efficient chipsets
  and CPUs

Power over Ethernet Solution OverviewThe New
IEEE 802.3af Standard

• Universal Ethernet Standards
• Ethernet standardized by IEEE 802.3
• Defacto standard for LAN
• Gaining popularity in public network
• Advancing technologies Gigabit Ethernet, 10
  Gig-E, power over Ethernet, Ethernet in the first
  mile, etc.
• Power Standards?
• Vary by region/country
• Different voltages
• Different power outlets
• Different electric plugs
• June 12, 2003, IEEE approved new 802.3af
  standard, creating first worldwide power
  standard.

11
Power over Ethernet Solution OverviewWhat drove
the need for Power over Ethernet?

• Companies deploying VoIP
• Users are accustomed to line powering of
  telephones
• Early products require local power wall warts
• Provides reliable power to phones vs.
  questionable (Dirty) local power
• Companies deploying WiFi
• WiFi access points frequently in areas not
  convenient to power
• Migration of network to intelligent devices that
  require both power and data transfer on the same
  cable

12
Interesting Power over Ethernet Facts

• Maximum power provided to remote powered device
  12.95 Watts
• Power output required from the power source to
  deliver 12.95 Watts 15.4 Watts (accounts for
  resistance of cabling)
• Number of new VoIP phones planned in 2005 2.85
  million phones
• Percentage of newly installed phones that will be
  IEEE 802.3af compliant 99

13
Power over Ethernet Solution OverviewPower over
Ethernet Deployment

• Power via Ethernet Switch (Endspan)
• Power inserted on data pairs (1,2 and 3,6)
• Majority of installed switches are not 802.3af
  compliant - new switch or blade required
• Power consumption of Ethernet switch an issue
• Power via Midspan
• Power inserted on unused pairs (4,5 and 7,8)
• Secondary device between existing Ethernet switch
  and powered devices
• Enables nodes that require power
• Easy to upgrade

14
Which of these Makes the Most Sense?
120 Watt Power Supply 15.4W X 7 ports
DO YOU BUY 24 PORTS TO USE ALL 24?
200 Watt Power Supply 15.4W X 12 Ports
400 Watt Power Supply 15.4W X 24 Ports
15
Why is ADC KRONEs Solution Different?

• ADC KRONE focus - Midspan device is part of an
  end-to-end physical layer warranty.
• MASSIVE Technical differentiation
• Full compliance to the 802.3af standard (15.4
  Watts on each port)
• Patent pending modular SNMP CPU card and power
  supply
• Patent pending SNMP Daisy Chain Control up to
  5 chassis with 1 CPU card and IP address
• Dual Redundant power capability
• Category 5e and 6 channel performance per TIA
  Standards
• Differentiates as it relates to CHANNEL!

16
PoE Deployment Challenges

• Non-IEEE 802.3af devices (We are addressing this)
• Some devices not yet 802.3af compliant
• Verify compatibility between power source and
  remote powered device
• Power consumption
• New devices drawing near upper limit of IEEEs
  12.95 Watts spec.
• Buyer beware, LOW power rating on Ethernet switch
  or midspan

17
Future Direction of Power over Ethernet

• New Higher Power PoE IEEE Working Group
• New proposal for additional Power over Ethernet,
  proposed to be between 30 to 40 Watts.
• Gigabit Ethernet Devices
• The list is endless
