Advantech recently released the EKI-2701MPI-5G PoE injector. This compact industrial-grade solution provides Wi-Fi-6 network infrastructure, PoE and advanced connectivity to outdated existing infrastructure. It supports multiple data rates (10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G) and IEEE802.3bt 90W PoE output, making it an excellent choice for outdated infrastructure applications that require a lot of network connections.
The PoE standard of the injector is backward compatible with 15W, 30W, and 60W PoE PD devices, which facilitates network infrastructure upgrades. Upgrading infrastructure with this solution saves manpower while reducing cable weight and cost. The device supports downwardly compatible data rates of 2.5 GBPS and 5Gbps, providing wi-fi 6 capabilities for existing wireless infrastructure. It also works as a PoE PSE - providing up to 90W of output to IP cameras, wi-Fi-6 access points and other connected devices.
It supports a wide range of operating temperatures (-40C-75C/-40F-167°F) in harsh operating environments. The device provides a compact, palm-sized form factor for flexible network infrastructure upgrades with limited space for applications. Despite its limited space, it can provide Internet service without overheating.
