This brief explains how high-power Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards enable organizations to support the next generation of IoT devices using existing network infrastructure. It outlines the evolution from traditional PoE to higher-power standards that can deliver up to 90 watts, supporting devices such as digital signage, smart lighting, access control, video surveillance, and IoT sensors. The document highlights benefits including simplified installation, reduced cabling costs, centralized power management, and improved energy efficiency. By delivering both data and power over a single Ethernet cable, high-power PoE helps organizations deploy smart building and edge technologies faster while maintaining flexibility, safety, and scalability.
