VoIP Telephony Applications

More Ports of Power over Ethernet are used for powering Voice over IP Phone sets than for any other PoE application. LAN Power Midspan PoE Chassis and Modules are the perfect solution for necessary phone power when upgrading to a Networked VoIP Phone System. The Diagram below shows the connectivity of the necessary components.

Unlike traditional phones, VoIP phone sets don't take line power from the Central Office. They need local power. It is important to design for Phone System operation should a temporary loss of building power occur. A PowerUp Midspan, backed up with an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), provides a secure, centralized power source at a fraction of the cost of competing solutions. The solution works with all existing Structured Cabling Systems Category 5 and above. It works with all Ethernet, Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet Switches whether Workgroup (Fixed Ports) or Concentrator (Removable Blades). Complete Network investment protection along with secure, centralized power is provided by the LAN Power PoE Midspans.

Benefits for IP Phone Networks

• Save big $$ by not replacing current Switches or Cable Plant
• Deployable in 8, 16 or 24 Port increments and fits into a 19" Rack
• Modules may be Hot-swap added later or replaced if damaged
• Provides cost effective power back-up along with UPS system
• Current support for Gigabit Ethernet throughput speeds, required by Video Screen VoIP Phones
• 18 watts available on all Ports to power all brands of VoIP Phones
