Market Opportunity
Significant VoIP advantages over traditional enterprise telephony networks
> Reduced carrier circuit charges
> Enhanced applications– Desktop video conferencing– Voice-enabled Web sites
> Integrated management systems and strategies
> Increased flexibility for a reduction in overall complexity and elimination of circuit redundancy

Market Opportunity
Power over Ethernet Standardization
> IEEE 802.3af– This standard allows a convenient and cost-effective powering of
the phones (no local desk DC power needed) as well as simple, centralized power protection of the whole installation directly from the switch/wiring closet.

IP Telephony Considerations
Key considerations in the implementation of Power over Ethernet
> Availability– Five nines (99.999%) availability– 5.3 minutes or less of downtime per year
> Simplicity of installation– Elimination of individual AC sources

X Number of stacked switches
X 1/Power Factor = Power in VA
24-port switches without PoE support 150 X 4 X 1.10 = 660
24-port switches with PoE support 400 X 0 X 1.10 = 0
Midspan units 220 X 2 X 1.05 = 462
Other equipment 0 X 0 X 1.43 = 0
