Market Data: Power over Ethernet for Digital Buildings

Power over Ethernet Applications in Digital Buildings: Global Market Analysis and Forecasts

Power over Ethernet (PoE) has been a part of building network infrastructure for decades. PoE has established a niche market position due to its weak value proposition compared with wireless or other wired connections. Nonetheless, changed PoE standards in 2018 and technology advancements, such as a single-pair PoE, have strengthened PoE's market position. PoE's core benefits of reliability, flexibility, and easy installation also helped its market position by further expanding device connectivity.

Several projects reconstructing building networks that use PoE technology have been completed or are in progress, with the North American market seeing significant activity. A single-wired PoE cable can have a key role in connecting optical data and direct current (DC) power within a building network’s end devices. Over the years, building renovation projects have been designed to power a part of building infrastructure with DC. A DC-powered building with a PoE solution can save a substantial amount of building energy consumption by reducing alternating current (AC)/DC power conversion loss. Sustainable building legislation supports improving the efficiency of building infrastructure, and PoE-adopted, DC-powered networks can be one of the efficiency improvement solutions.
