Remote AP Powering
The Gemtek Systems E-820 Switch eliminates the need for a local power outlet and power cable for Wireless LAN access points. Just one cable to each access point can provide both 10/100BASE-T connectivity and power. Since the E-820 provides power to access points, it frees the need for power outlets. Moreover, centralized AP power distribution also facilitates the use of UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) - an important requirement for high-availability services.

Scalable LAN Switching
The E-820 provides affordable 10/100 switching solutions with eight integrated Ethernet ports plus one uplink port. To support larger venues, up to four E-820 switches can be stacked and connected by the uplink ports. The layer 2 switch allows the definition of port based VLANs with forwarding rules for in-and-out traffic.

Remote Management
There are varieties of different management interfaces allowing to configuring, monitoring, or updating the PoE Switch remotely. Each PoE port can be controlled independently, e.g. to switch on/off one AP or to reboot APs independently and remotely. The E-820 is remotely manageable by a dedicated management port through SNMP, http or telnet, or alternatively via the serial port.

Standard Compliance
The E-820 Power-over-Ethernet Switch is fully standards-compliant and interoperable with any IEEE 802.3af compliant device. The advanced auto-sensing mechanism detects power-ready terminals but does not provide inline power for non-PoE devices. Automatic node/hub selection and speed recognition guarantees that any 10/100Base-T connection will be accepted.

Cost effective-of-Ownership
Power distribution over Ethernet efficiently reduces the wireless LAN installation costs. Integration of the PoE function into the Ethernet switch also reduces your infrastructure investments. Even more value for network operators, remotely managing the power of Wi-Fi access points can dramatically reduce the travel and technical personnel expenses.

Lowest Crosstalk and Data Loss
Transmitting DC power into an Ethernet network can increase noise susceptibility and thereby degrade overall system throughput. Gemtek Systems' state-of-the-art design ensures that power distribution does not interfere with normal network operation.
