PDSN Powerdsine

PowerDsine (Nasdaq: PDSN) and Sifos today announced that the two companies will collaborate to deliver solutions that assist customers to quickly design and verify Power over Ethernet (PoE) solutions capable of delivering up to 56W of power. This collaboration will ensure that implementers of pre-standard High-Power PoE technology solutions will have available both chipset solutions and the means of testing such solutions, thus reducing time to market. Additionally, the planned collaboration will continue so that as the standardization activities of the IEEE802.3at committee evolve, both companies will adapt their solutions in accordance with the new requirements of the standard and help customers launch products in a quick and timely manner. "With several customers' adoption of PowerDsine's new High-Power PoE solution based on our PD83000 micro-controller, the ability to test pre-standard High Power over Ethernet became important," said Igal Rotem, CEO of PowerDsine. "Sifos' flexible PSA test equipment allows customers to implement testing patterns according to the latest updates based on the continued work of the IEEE802.3at task force." "Sifos is pleased to be working with PowerDsine, an expert in Power over Ethernet. We are able to gain access to the information, expertise, and tools that can help us offer the best possible test solutions to our customers going forward," said David Lucia, CEO of Sifos. The collaboration between PowerDsine and Sifos is important as it will likely facilitate the deployment of high power applications in a simpler and more cost effective manner with High-Power Power over Ethernet as the IEEE802.3at standard evolves. About Power over Ethernet Technology PoE is a technology for wired Ethernet, the most widely installed local area network technology in use today. PoE allows the electrical power necessary for the operation of each end-device to be carried by data cables rather than by separate power cords. It minimizes the number of wires that must be used in order to install the network, resulting in lower cost, less downtime, easier maintenance and greater installation flexibility.
