WiFi is excellent. We all love it. But underneath any good wireless network, lies some serious cabling.
The question is, which will be better for any given scenario? Fiber or copper?
Ethernet has certainly been in the news lately. From applications of LED lighting to advanced IP camera technology, there are no shortage of applications for ethernet cabling.
Copper cabling such as Ethernet, is the cheaper
Last week the Washington Post announced a White House pledge to spend a massive $1 trillion on a road, waterway, and airport infrastructure overhaul initiative.
For most people and industries, infrastructure repair is nothing but a headache. But for some specific verticals, it means big business. So for those of us that bid on government contracts, we’re going to be busy in the coming years.
If
For ISPs prioritizing infrastructure upgrade spend, Ultra-fast G.fast broadband technology [300-500 Mbps] over existing copper is a dream come true.
Just as a refresher, G.fast takes advantage of last mile configurations–provider to node to customer–to make this possible. But copper, as may installers know, has its limitations.
For starters, it relies on very short lengths of 100m, making
An Industrial Grade PoE Injector that Simplifies Tricky Installations!
Versatek is proud to announce the release of it’s new VX-1000GPP Industrial Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector. To many reading this article (looking at you installers and IT administrators) the convenience and savings of PoE technology will not come as any sort of a surprise.
For those of you who may be new to Power
LED Lighting is booming! As all-in-one IoT lighting platforms become more affordable and easier to both install and use, consumers purchases are ramping up.
One such platform, is the “SmartCast” lighting system from Cree, Inc.
The all-in-one platform approach means components are pre-integrated and don’t require complicated setup. In fact, it’s a 1-touch setup.
Systems are intuitive, visually
So your network installation needs a new PSU (power supply unit). There’s no doubt that the marketplace can be a bit confusing as there are many different specifications to pick from.
Today, let’s cover performance thresholds specifically. They’re the single most important factor to consider when making a purchase decision.
Most wireless users today connect over 4G technology.
There’s a lot to love about 4G, the least of which is that it’s substantially faster than 3G.
The increased bandwidth allows us to stream quality video and much much more. But with so many people accessing larger quantities of data every minute, we’ve just about maxed out our capacity.
It won’t be long before wireless users will find themselves
Broadband costs have been rising.
Many consumers find themselves wondering “how is it that Broadband Service providers can promise me sign-on packages of below $100 per month for bundled service, and in 2-years time charge upwards to $200 for the same service?”
Part of the reason, is that in most locations these providers already have cabling in place. All they really need to do is “flip
We’ve spent plenty of time discussing IoT and its rising popularity in recent months. And with good reason. It’s a complicated and nuanced landscape with great potential yet to be realized.
When it comes to a B2B perspective on the internet of things however, we (as installers and technicians) need to think less about the market trend, and more about the effect this technology has on end users.
How
Installing Power over Ethernet (PoE) cabling for lighting, camera or VOIP phone systems is getting progressively easier year over year.
Companies and homeowners alike have caught on to the inherent savings. The infrastructure costs very little all things considered and the endpoint devices are highly efficient. This equates to less money spent each month when the utility bill arrives.
