Power over Ethernet (PoE) lighting and building automation systems, designed to promote energy efficiency and boost productivity, are beginning to drive highly innovative smart building concepts. As operational technology (OT) rapidly adopts PoE infrastructure in commercial buildings (including offices, factories and warehouses), architects, developers, builders and engineering firms become crucial collaborators - alongside information technology (IT), who have traditionally owned the infrastructure PoE utilises. Together, these proponents are leading the charge to bring powerful PoE networks into commercial spaces, with significant new build, retrofit and pilot installations underway - and many more in the works.
