PowerDsine Ltd. (NASDAQ:PDSN), a leading provider of Power-over- Ethernet (PoE) technology, announced today that Sheridan House, a non-profit organization which provides homes for children with behavioral problems, has implemented PowerDsine's PoE midspans to facilitate the deployment of new IP-based security cameras and Wireless LAN (WLAN) access points at their campus in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. PowerDsine's 12-port 6012 PoE Midspans, which are compliant with the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard, was donated to Sheridan House as part of its public grant program, in order to provide safe and cost-effective power distribution for its campus-wide installation of WLAN access points and IP network video cameras. The PowerDsine 6012 PoE Midspans work in conjunction with Sheridan House's existing legacy Cisco switches. "Knowing that PowerDsine is a pioneer in PoE technology gives us peace of mind that we have a reliable solution in place to keep our campus safe and wirelessly connected," said Robert Crooke, IT Manager at Sheridan House. "Furthermore, as a non-profit organization, we desire the most cost effective solutions and PowerDsine's midspans allow us the opportunity to reallocate that money into new programs for children and families." The 6012 PoE midspan is a highly scalable 12-port solution. It offers an automatic detection and protection device and works with a centralized Uninterruptible Power Supply solution to distribute back-up power to IP video cameras and WLAN access points across Sheridan House's campus-wide network. "Sheridan House wanted to deploy new security cameras and a wireless network throughout their facility quickly and cost-effectively. We are pleased that our Power over Ethernet midspans enhanced their installation process," said Igal Rotem, CEO and Co-Founder of PowerDsine. "Today, the staff and residents of Sheridan House can enjoy reliable high-speed wireless connectivity in a secure environment." 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.
