Power over Ethernet (POE) and POE+
This subcommittee is promoting the current capabilities of IEEE802.3at-2009, as well driving consensus with efforts to extend the power delivery and port-level resiliency capabilities of IEEE802.3at in the Ethernet community, which would extend the number of applications that could benefit from Power over Ethernet. The enhanced power levels are intended to broaden the range of applications to include Outdoor Network Cameras, Thin Clients, Point of Sales Devices, WiMAX Base Stations and eventually laptops. The subcomitted will align Power over Ethernet capabilities with EEE effort, and drive to efficient power policies meeting emerging regultation and standards.
