OCP ORv3 power shelf supports emerging 48-volt data center infrastructure

Advanced Energy’s Artesyn Embedded Power product group is introducing a new Open Compute Project Open Rack version 3 (OCP ORv3) power shelf, designed to support the move to 48-volt data center infrastructure. Moving from 12-volt to 48-volt power distribution reduces the current draw by a factor of four and reduces conduction losses by a factor of 16. This results in significantly better thermal performance, smaller busbars and increased efficiency.

Cabling expert Maguire advises on preparing for WiFi 6E

Valerie Maguire, distinguished engineer with Siemon, weighs on on the FCC’s allocation of spectrum in the 6-GHz band for WiFi use.“WiFi 6E is the new WiFi Alliance terminology for IEEE 802.11ax devices that are capable of operating at 6 GHz, as well as in the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz spectra already used by WiFi 6,” she explained. “WiFi 6E devices are expected to become available quickly, as only small changes to the antennae and front ends on existing WiFi 6 devices are required.”

Webinar: Fiber Deep Networks for Today’s Enterprise: Part 1

How can you deliver a reliable 4th Utility connected experience so you can face the demands of a modern network? In this webinar, Corning discusses how optical network solutions provide a future-ready platform that can help support in-building applications like Wi-Fi, cellular, cameras, A/V, lighting and more. We will also walk through an Intelligent Building case study that used remote powering, software defined networking, cellular and optical network solutions to provide an easy to manage, scalable, and cost-effective common infrastructure that saved more than 25% over traditional copper networks.

Webinar: How Single Pair Ethernet Streamlines Aircraft Networks

Bandwidth-hungry electronics are increasing on aircraft as passengers and crews expect more from in-flight entertainment, cabin lighting, security and freight monitors, and other features. A significant amount of wiring and connectors is required to enable these capabilities, and designers need to implement smarter connectivity solutions without adding weight. This 60-minute Webinar explores how the adoption of Ethernet technology is evolving to support the SWaP and performance needs of modern aircraft cabin networks.

Three of the Smartest Buildings in the World and How They Forecast the Future of Commercial Development

In order to capitalize on new tenant office demands, developers require an IoT infrastructure that is purpose-built, scalable, and fully customizable. Tenants and employees are looking for office spaces that foster collaboration and can adapt to their changing workflows. Connectivity also is a driving factor; a survey conducted by WiredScore discovered that 75% of tenants consider poor internet connectivity to impact company profitability, and 84% of tenants would pay more per square foot for their space if an owner could prove a building has reliable connectivity.

Siemon Announces Strategic Sales and Marketing Partnership with Keating Technologies

The Siemon Company, a global provider of innovative network cabling solutions, today announced a new sales partnership with Keating Technologies to drive the continued growth of Siemon’s  business in Canada. This national agreement with Keating will allow Siemon to integrate their channel expertise with Siemon’s  sales resources to drive additional growth and better serve Canadian customers.

Webinar: The Emergence of a Utility LAN to the Connected Enterprise

When we think of the Local Area Network (LAN), we typically think of devices that have traditionally been Ethernet-enabled – desktop computers, Voice-over-IP (VoIP) phones and more recently, wireless access points. What we are now seeing is the emergence of a uLAN, or Utility LAN. Like the traditional LAN, the uLAN is an interconnected set of devices that share data within the enterprise. But the uLAN is comprised of non-traditional Ethernet-enabled devices – lighting, HVAC, security, and AV systems – that are now being connected and powered by the IP network. The uLAN enables you to integrate systems to reduce installation and maintenance costs, and capture actionable analytics to further improve efficiency, and improve productivity and the overall user experience.
