Power over Ethernet or PoE technology describes a system to transfer electrical power, along with data, to remote devices over standard category 5 cable in an ethernet network.
According to the company, it does not require modification of existing ethernet cabling infrastructure and the unit supports the latest POE standard IEEE 802.3at for up to 25W power transmission capability.
AIS said that its fanless PoE Panel PC utilizes an ultra low power Atom processor, LED backlit LCD panel, and PoE technology, packaged into a compact form factory which is deployed into buildings for home automation systems, heating ventilation and cooling control, lighting management, building control and security.
The company claimed that by automating more and more of building systems including heating, cooling, water, and power, users can save 15% or more on heating and electric bills. Additionally PoE reduces the need for electricians to install conduit, electrical wiring, and outlets throughout the enterprise. With PoE only one cable – a simple CAT-5 ethernet is required.
AIS 10.1 Energy Efficient Panel PC features a four wire Resistive Touchscreen, wide temperature -25 degree centigrade to 55 degree centigrade operating capability, LED backlight LCD Panel, and a 20W total power consumption.
The company added that long life cycle industrial grade components are utilized for high reliability and long availability. Standard VESA 75mm spaced mounting holes are available on the rear and additional mounting clips are included for mounting to any fixture or wall.
