Industry-Wide Collaboration to Standardize Processes for Better Implementation
CHINO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 7, 2024 / Versa Technology, Inc. (Versatek), a U.S.-based global provider of last-mile IT networking technology equipment, and one of the largest suppliers of Power over Ethernet (PoE) solutions in North America, joins with the PoE Consortium, a joint venture of today's leading Power over Ethernet companies bringing awareness and education about this safe, alternative technology.
As detailed in an interview with the first Consortium president, Kim Johnson, the PoE Consortium committees are uniting the industry by developing standards so end users can enjoy a more consistent experience implementing PoE-supported platforms, systems, and products. Strategies include a more universal adoption of terminology to remove confusion between brands. This will make it easier for installers and other stakeholders to fully leverage the benefits of PoE within all phases of the digital workplace.
"Consortium efforts to improve the implementation experience will make a difference as bandwidth and power increase," says Joe Williams, Director of Distributed Sales for Versa Technologies. "We are delighted to be a part of the PoE Consortium and look forward to supporting this important industry initiative."
Kim Johnson, the 2023 President and a Co-Founder of the PoE Consortium, shared: "Messaging on the benefits of PoE technology needs to continue because it is still not widely known in the industry - instead of being afraid of PoE technology, people are embracing it because they see it as a solution to the challenges we face in implementing smart building technology."
Over 40 companies have joined the PoE Consortium, including industry PoE leaders such as Versatek, and Planet Technology USA, along with a wide range of installation experts, academic institutions, and unions.
