NETGEAR, Inc. is launching two new Virtually Anywhere™ Web Managed switches to support deployment of modern high-power Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE+) devices in locations where other switches cannot go. The innovative mounting system of the new ProSAFE® 8-port Gigabit Ethernet Web Managed PoE+ Click Switch (GSS108EPP) and the ProSAFE Easy-Mount 8-port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Web Managed Switch (GS408EPP) offers ultimate flexibility in placement so PoE+ ports are available exactly where needed — and the GS408EPP’s unique design allows for two switches to be mounted in a single 1U rack slot, saving valuable rack space while allowing for future expansion as needed. Both switches also provide the configurable, advanced Layer 2 network features of other ProSAFE Web Managed (Plus) Switches. The new switches will be showcased with other innovative new products this week in the NETGEAR suite at the CES® trade show. As adoption of wireless devices using PoE+ power (802.3az) becomes more widespread, the placement of these devices presents a challenge to the PoE switches supplying their power. VoIP phones, IP security cameras with night vision and motion tracking, wireless access points, proximity sensors, LED lighting, door locks and other IoT PoE-powered devices are typically spread throughout business premises for optimal coverage, surveillance and density management, making them difficult to deploy efficiently from a centralized IT room. The new NETGEAR switches install PoE+ ports in any environment needed where other switches cannot go, due to their industry-first Virtually AnywhereTM mounting system for vertical, horizontal, flat or perpendicular placement. Whether it's on the wall, strapped to a pole, or under a desk or tabletop, this mounting system unique to NETGEAR Easy-Mount and Click Switches enables the SMB network manager to control exactly how and where PoE+ ports and cables are deployed. The GSS108EPP Click Switch also features a fanless design for silent operation in conference rooms, open space offices, healthcare centers or any noise-sensitive environment.
