By Brad (Biju) Oommen Originally published in  Cabling Installation & Maintenance Product analysis: Plenum-rated in-ceiling switch for PoE lighting and smart building applications August 24, 2018                   By Brad (Biju) Oommen Power over Ethernet (PoE) is an important component of smart building technology and strategy. Using PoE, we can combine the requisite data connection and supply power to a device over a local area network (LAN) cable. This approach to connectivity and delivering power simplifies the work required for installations, thus lowering installation costs and operating costs, and opens up new vistas for a series of applications and use cases. Plenum-rated network switches can now be installed in the ceiling to provide power and data connection to  intelligent LED lighting systems  using data cables. For example, lighting systems can become residents on the d...

Because eSBCs manage and control SIP signalling and associated RTP (real-time protocol) audio streams, they are able to address challenges pertaining to SIP VoIP service quality, security, and SIP interoperability, including handling codec mismatc...

By Biju (Brad) Oommen Originally published in  Cabling Installation & Maintenance How SFP transceivers can enable quick, cost-effective fiber connectivity for manifold applications April 24, 2018 By BIJU OOMMEN -- Bandwidth usage is increasing and we never seem to have enough of it. The full range of applications and associated systems -- such as streaming video, video conferencing, two way telepresence, fifth-generation mobile networks ( 5G ), streaming   4K/UltraHD   TV,   Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) which are new forms of immersive media, Internet of Things (IoT), High-Speed Internet Access (HSIA), cloud computing-based communications and storage architectures, automation technologies, and more -- are available and plausible only if you have adequate bandwidth. Indeed,  fiber-optic communication systems  can deliver the required high bandwidth and high-speed connectivity. For fiber optic communication ...
