In 2003, the 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) was introduced, representing several standards and ad hoc systems that deliver data along with electric power via twisted-pair Ethernet cabling. This technology quickly gained popularity because it only requires a single cable rather than two (one providing power and another delivering data) for devices. Initially, PoE merely […]
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a novel power supply for Ethernet-connected devices. Eliminating the need for separate power supplies and outlets, it offers an efficient approach to motor design for motion control. Let’s walk through the basics of PoE and learn how the process can apply to motion control applications. What Is PoE? PoE refers […]

Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology is booming. New PoE-capable devices for smart buildings are flooding the market at a remarkable rate. Now is the right time to pay attention to your cabling infrastructure and ensure you’re getting it right. PoE technology has been around for decades, but it’s increasingly making waves in the business world […]
The Ethernet Alliance has launched an oral-history archive called the Voices of Ethernet that narrates Ethernet technology’s journey from its inception in 1973 to what it is today. The purpose is to preserve Ethernet history for future generations through a collection of oral interview recordings with the pioneers of Ethernet. The history shares engaging personal […]
With regular advancements in technology, coupled with hard lessons from the COVID pandemic, 2023 comes with multiple IT trends. Most trends center on streamlining operational efficiency, improving data security, boosting business resiliency, and fueling growth. Since the trends are numberless, Versa Technology, an IT frontrunner supplying hardware used in PoE technology, has narrowed to 10 […]
There are thousands of data centers worldwide, with approximately half of these in the top 20 global cities. Gartner identifies three crucial segments that Data and Analytics (D&A) corporations should strive to integrate into their 2022 strategy. The current top data center statistics represent technology, market, and business dynamics that will help companies transform uncertainty […]
A flood of data engulfs today’s business environment, which changes how companies handle computing. That explains why enterprises are increasingly adopting edge computing, an IT framework that processes data at the point of generation — the edge. Though it serves a similar role as remote data centers, edge computing has several benefits. It reduces latency, […]
George Moore answered the question of how long technology lasts in 1965. In fact, his answer became known as Moore’s Law. “The number of transistors incorporated in a chip will approximately double every 24 months.”—Gordon Moore, Intel co-founder. Transistors form the circuitry needed to power computer chips. As the number of transistors increases, so does […]
One lesson we can learn from the COVID-19 pandemic is the immediate need for health equity. Although poverty and lack of access are still leading barriers to health equity, the adverse effects of the pandemic worsened the problem, exposing the true extent of inequity in health care. The pandemic resulted in hospitals being overwhelmed and […]
As consumers return to the brick-and-mortar shopping experience, one thing is clear: contactless retail encounters have become a focal point. According to a recent small business (SB) study conducted by Visa, responding SB owners identified the five top areas for growth needed in 2022. These are: Offering new products or services (41%) Increasing social media presence […]
