TRENDnet, a global leader and award-winning provider of reliable networking, surveillance, transportation, and power solutions, is announcing today that it has launched PoE++ switches featuring GaN power technology. GaN (gallium-nitride) technology delivers power with increased efficiency with a smaller carbon footprint.

TRENDnet's first two network switches featuring GaN power technology are the 6-Port 2.5G GaN Power PoE++ Switch with 10G SFP+ Ports (TPE-BG5062), and the 9-Port 2.5G GaN Power PoE++ Switch with 10G SFP+ Port (TPE-BG5091). Both switches feature high-efficiency GaN internal power supplies, and deliver up to 95 watts of PoE power per port, ideal for power hungry PoE devices, such as advanced security cameras, high-power access points, digital signage, and access controls.

Lantronix Inc., a global leader of compute and connectivity for IoT solutions enabling AI Edge Intelligence, today announced it will launch its new 28-port SM24TBT4XPA Managed 2.5G Ethernet PoE++ network switch as well as feature its 24-port SM24TBT4SA and 8-port SM8TBT2SA Managed Gigabit Ethernet PoE++ network switches at the 2025 BICSI Winter Conference & Exhibition. Taking place Feb. 4-6, 2025, at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., Lantronix will exhibit these newest items, along with more IoT network solutions, at booth Number 910.

"At BICSI, we will feature our new PoE++ network switches that offer flexibility in port speed and power while delivering the always-on performance needed for critical applications, such as smart building, wireless and security and surveillance. Our users know they can rely on Lantronix's secure network solutions to stay connected at the network edge while gaining easy, intuitive control of end-to-end devices," said Mathi Gurusamy, chief strategy officer at Lantronix.

NETGEAR, Inc., the leading provider of networking products that power businesses of any size, today launched the most compact WiFi 7 access point on the market. The tri-band WBE750 is designed for businesses heavily reliant on wireless internet and delivers up to 18.4Gbps1 total WiFi throughput, supported by a 10 Gbps/Multi-Gigabit PoE++ port.

The WBE750 Insight Manageable Tri-band WiFi 7 Access Point provides the deep capabilities that today's complex businesses need, including real-time responsiveness, low latency, and increased capacity. Employees are using an increasing number of connected devices at work - including laptops, cell phones, tablets, on top of office-wide connected devices such as collaboration systems, portable POS systems, smart lighting, and more, all of which can eat up precious bandwidth. Limited bandwidth can lead to decreased productivity and inefficiencies within a company, ultimately impacting the bottom line. The WBE750 access point with its high WiFi throughput and ability to support up to 600 concurrent devices is among the most advanced available today.
