The latest products are yet a further extension of NETGEAR’s modern business advancements, which include the CES® 2020 Innovation Awards Honoree, the Insight Instant Mesh WiFi solution.

The global PoE market is expected to offer significant growth over the coming years as widespread adoption of IP communication, WiFi connectivity, and increasing demand for network security cameras are projected to drive the industry demand. PoE devices are now encompassing VoIP phones, IP Security Cameras, wireless access points, proximity sensors, door locks, and new applications such as displays, panel PCs, LED lighting, audio speakers, and POS terminals using the latest PoE++ standard, as well as other IoT devices.

Similarly, as modern business organizations continue to see a two-fold trend of deploying more PoE devices, with more power, high-performance PoE switches are in pivotal demand to run businesses. With the IoT continuously introducing wired devices for smart home and smart building automation systems, the 802.3bt PoE standard is called to support those devices that require greater power.

To meet these ever-important and business-critical demands, NETGEAR has developed a series of product enhancements addressing the growth of PoE products on the market. These new members of the Unmanaged and Smart Managed Switch family enable deployment of PoE+ ports exactly where you need them, and include:
