Vendors eager to showcase wares
Power Over Ethernet
Power-over-Ethernet (POE) or “Active Ethernet” eliminates the need to run 110/220 VAC power to WLAN and other devices on a wired LAN. Using POE system installers, users need to run only a single CAT5 Ethernet cable that carries both power and data to each device. This allows greater flexibility in the locating of access points and network devices, and significantly decreases installation costs in many cases. Citel has designed a solution to protect POE data/communication lines in local and wide area networks up to 100 Base-T transmission speeds. A carefully designed circuit isolates data from Ethernet power lines and protects all eight pins. The ultra-sharp clamping response of Citel model MJ8-505-24D3A60 permanently eliminates transients from POE applications to ensure equipment safety and optimal data transfer. Booth 3068

Model SRM-300 Selective Radiation Meter
Narda-STS will be exhibiting its new Model SRM-3000 selective radiation meter. This is the only selective radiation meter that lets users read total field strength at transmitter sites, and the individual field strengths of all emitters. With a large dynamic range, fields can be detected as low as 5 mV/m, which is about 60 dB more sensitive than traditional equipment. Users who operate on shared sites with other transmitters will find this tool effective in determining compliance with FCC regulations. Booth 12006
