Powerdsine (NASDAQ:PDSN)
Historical Stock Chart
From Dec 2019 to Dec 2024
PowerDsine Ltd. (NASDAQ:PDSN), a leading provider of
Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, announced today at FOSE, that it
has partnered with Westcon Group's Comstor Division to provide
PowerDsine products on its #GS-35F-4389G GSA contract. Accordingly,
Comstor is now authorized to supply the federal government with
PowerDsine's 6500 PoE Midspans. PowerDsine's Midspan products may
reduce infrastructure costs associated with deployment VoIP phones,
Wireless LAN Access Points and IP-based network cameras.
PowerDsine will work closely with Comstor to create awareness of
the benefits of the 6500 PoE Midspan solution. Comstor and PowerDsine
will focus on federal agencies active in the IP telephony, wireless
LAN and IP surveillance markets. PoE technology offers a compelling
value proposition in these market sectors.
In addition, PowerDsine is currently accepting requests from Value
Added Resellers (VARs) to provide a Letter of Supply (LoS) for any
commercially available PowerDsine product for the VARs' local, state
and federal contracts.
"We believe that federal government agencies are looking to
embrace new technologies and, like any other enterprise environment,
they demand solutions, like Power over Ethernet, that can reduce IT
deployment costs and improve the utilization of their existing network
investment," said Igal Rotem, CEO of PowerDsine. "Our solutions are
designed to save organizations considerable time and money by feeding
power to devices, such as IP phones, IP surveillance cameras and
wireless LAN access points, via Ethernet cabling."
Through Comstor's GSA schedule, federal agencies and resellers
will be able to purchase PowerDsine's 6500 Midspans, which are
available in 6, 12, 24 and 48-port models, so that IT administrators
can PoE-enable their legacy Ethernet switch environments and at the
same time protect their IT investment by not having to invest in an
entirely new switch. All PowerDsine products are compliant with the
IEEE 802.3af PoE standard.

About Power over Ethernet Technology
PoE is a technology for wired Ethernet, the most widely installed
local area network technology in use today. PoE allows the electrical
power necessary for the operation of each end-device, to be carried by
data cables rather than by separate power cords. It minimizes the
number of wires that must be used in order to install the network,
resulting in lower cost, less downtime, easier maintenance and greater
installation flexibility.
