PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology is widely adopted for supporting networking devices' power and connectivity when facing the challenge of wiring in rigorous environments with power sourcing limitations. IEEE standards specify the maximum power output from PSE (power sourcing equipment) as well as the power budget for the PD (powered device) to ensure the interoperability of both devices in the market. With the increasing need for higher power in applications, the maximum PD power available is increased by this amendment to IEEE standards. Following the latest standard, Leonton presents new Industrial Ethernet Switches and Media Converter both with 90-Watt Output and new safety measures for heavier PoE connections.

The automotive industry and its ongoing evolution are affecting how we plan and build parking space in every “Smart City” around the world. Improvements in parking solutions will promote safety, efficiency, user experience, and lower the cost of parking projects. Among all, they have got one thing in common, that is all should be connected to the Internet for maximum profit and operational efficiency, making the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) the catalyst for your modern parking solutions. And a reliable, redundant, secure, customizable, and cost-effective network environment is what Leonton can offer.

Building an automated factory is one thing, and having it operated in the best possible way with lower cost and more efficiency is another. Currently, the factory automation is undergoing a transformation, evolving from serial to Ethernet, from manned to unmanned, wired to wireless, and so on. Should we see the picture of mostly unmanned factories in near future, but in the progress, a certain level of IIoT will need to be reached in the field to make it happen. Leonton offers a dedicated product line of Ethernet switches for factory automation, providing lower voltage power input and various PoE standards, helping the customers with the most cost-efficient and reliable networking products.

Lowering costs and raising the quality of service by emulating up-to-date practices are keys to the evolution of public transportation, especially buses. In developed countries, commuters have more options than ever to get around the city, including bus, metro, car, motorcycle, bicycle, scooter, ride-sharing services, and more coming. Among all the options, bus operators should take the game up to the next level by embracing Industrial IoT, integrating new technology, seamless user experience, and an advanced business model. By making their fleet with a higher utilization ratio, in order to get higher revenue and profit, IIoT opens a door to the bus industry by connecting every device to the Internet, drastically reducing downtime, collecting data for better service quality, and providing a better customer experience.
