NVT Phybridge PoE Switch Technology Reduces Digital Transformation Costs by 50% for Funeral Service Provider

NVT Phybridge Case Study – Funeral Services

3-minute read time

Summary

  • A cremation and funeral service provider wanted to upgrade from a digital phone system to an IP communication solution across several locations.
  • The customer needed to avoid business disruption and unnecessary infrastructure costs
  • Convergent Solutions used the NVT Phybridge PoLRE LPC switch to remove the customer’s digital transformation barriers and reduce infrastructure costs by more than 50%.

Problem

A cremation and funeral service provider with several locations across Wisconsin wanted to upgrade from a digital phone system to an IP communication solution across several locations. While the organization wanted to provide employees with new communications capabilities, it first needed to overcome critical infrastructure barriers.

The customer’s funeral service locations were designed to look like homes instead of offices. With ceilings made of drywall instead of the usual drop ceiling, re-cabling would be complex, disruptive, and costly. The organization was very concerned with the potential for business disruption, as booked funeral services require calm, clean, and respectful environments that cannot be tarnished with ongoing construction work or building renovations. The organization needed an innovative solution to modernize communication without business disruption or high costs.

Solution

Technology integrator, Convergent Solutions, discovered NVT Phybridge Power over Ethernet (PoE) solutions and recommended the PoLRE LPC switch to help overcome the customer’s digital transformation barriers. The 8-port PoLRE LPC switch delivers fast Ethernet and PoE over single-pair UTP (CAT3) cable with up to 1,200ft (365m) reach – four times farther than standard switches. The customer was impressed and decided to move the project forward using NVT Phybridge Power over Long Reach Ethernet technology.

Result

After a few simple setup steps, the PoLRE LPC switch transformed the customer’s existing single-pair UTP infrastructure into a robust and secure IP network backbone for the new IP communication solution. “This was our first time using the product, and it was very successful,” said Troy Thompson, Owner of Convergent Solutions. “NVT Phybridge products allowed our integrators to focus on key business applications instead of costly and difficult infrastructure upgrades.”

Convergent Solutions modernized the customers’ communication system and provided connectivity beyond the traditional 328ft (100m) distance limitation without modifying the existing IDF closets. “The PoLRE LPC switch provided a slide-in design that simplified deployment,” said Troy Thompson. “We avoided after-hour labour costs and complex infrastructure upgrades for the customer while providing a simple, quick, and hassle-free deployment for our installers.”

Compared to the traditional approach of removing and replacing network cabling, the PoLRE LPC switch reduced infrastructure costs by more than 50% for the funeral home. The customer experienced zero business disruption during deployment, allowing for uninterrupted funeral services. “The customer’s facilities did not allow for any disruption or simple infrastructure upgrades,” said Troy Thompson. “The NVT Phybridge product allowed for the quick and easy modernization of existing infrastructure with no environmental disruption for the customer or its guests.”

Power over Ethernet Standards

Power over Ethernet Standards, History, and Evolution

What is the difference between 802.3af (PoE) vs. 802.3at (PoE+)?

The difference between 802.3af vs. 802.3at (PoE vs. PoE+, respectively) is the amount of power delivered. The 802.3af PoE standard delivers 15.4 Watts to endpoint devices, while the more recent 802.3at PoE standard delivers 25.5 Watts to endpoint devices.

Power Over Ethernet History

802.3af (PoE)

The 802.3af Power over Ethernet standard was introduced in 2003 and would eventually support the initial explosion of IoT devices. 802.3af allowed installers to deliver power and data using one networking solution. It caused a significant increase in the deployment of powered devices (PDs) as there was no need to hire an electrician and a cabling specialist to deploy. Installers used Power over Ethernet networking solutions to provide power and data over a single cable to all manner of PDs.

802.3at (PoE+)

As time went on, device manufacturers created better solutions that required more power to operate. The 15.4 Watts that 802.3af provided was no longer acceptable, which led to a new Power over Ethernet standard. 802.3at was developed, providing up to 25.5 Watts of power to the PD. The increase in power was now able to support more intricate devices, such as cameras with movement motors and wireless access points with increased range.

After the 802.3at Power over Ethernet standard was introduced, organizations and device manufacturers were pushing the limits of technology. Quickly, there was a  need for even more power as devices became increasingly complex with additional features and mechanical capabilities. However, the industry and standards development was moving slower than the demand for better standards.

Users continually pushed the limits of existing technology and required additional power to support these systems and devices. We call this period the “wild-wild west” as six competing technologies looked to fill the void. Unfortunately, with no set standards to build upon, these separate technologies did not interoperate with one another.

802.3bt (PoE++)

Eventually, the industry developed the 802.3bt standard, also known as PoE++. An 802.3bt device delivers 60 Watts of power from the PSE (power sourcing equipment) to ensure 51 Watts to the PD. Industry adoption of 802.3bt was slow as several device manufacturers developed their own technologies during the “wild-wild west” period. Industry players are slowly moving towards the 802.bt standard as it is backward compatible with 802.af and 802.3at, but not all the competing standards developed during this time.

NVT Phybridge & 802.3bt

As with several networking manufacturers, NVT Phybridge started developing high-wattage PoE technology during the “wild-wild west” period when there was no standard to adhere to. Our goal was to support the highest number of endpoint devices from the six competing methodologies as possible. However, with little cooperation and interoperability available at the time, not all devices were interoperable. Thankfully, the industry has agreed that 802.3bt is the future, and all players, including NVT Phybridge, are working towards its adoption.

Communication Standards Used in NVT Phybridge Technology

For over ten years, NVT Phybridge has led the industry in long-reach Ethernet innovation. Today, our large portfolio of solutions allows customers to leverage new or existing cabling to support Ethernet and PoE requirements. Our solutions are built upon two underlying technologies, HomePlug and BroadR-Reach, which allow us to offer the best long-reach protocols available on the market.

Standardization of technology allows industries to scale and grow without worrying about the compatibility of their devices. The IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard has allowed the market to propel the adoption of Ethernet networks all over the world. All NVT Phybridge products, regardless of the underlying technology, are fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards.

What is ETSI TS 105 176-2 HomePlug

We are actively pursuing the standardization of core technologies used in the long-reach Ethernet space. HomePlug is currently being standardized (ETSI TS 105 176-2) across the industry using the PowerEOC Alliance. We are an active member of this group and have achieved standardization certification for our solutions running HomePlug technology. We’ve earned this certification, and our products using this technology are fully compatible.

What is IEEE 802.3cg

Ethernet Alliance has introduced the IEEE 802.3cg-2019 standard (also known as 10Base-T1L). NVT Phybridge was one of the first to adopt and use Broadcom BroadR-Reach technology in its products. As a result, we have helped develop this new standard based on this technology. We are currently testing IEEE 802.3cg to make sure it meets our customers’ needs and will look to adopt this technology ourselves in the future.

Local Area Network (LAN) Design Done Right

What is “right” for your organization as it adopts new IP and IoT endpoints?

John Croce – CEO, NVT Phybridge

3 minute read time

What does “right” mean when it comes to LAN design? Webster’s Dictionary defines right as “being or following what is just, good or proper.” This definition has conflict when it comes to LAN design. What is just or good for you may, at the same time, not be considered proper by you. Confused? Let me explain.

Whenever new disruptive technologies or processes are introduced ( for example, emails to share documents versus fax machines), some may resist the change – believing it is not “proper” because the standard way, as per company policy, is to send documents by fax. As CBC’s Thomas Daigle explains, the Province of Ontario is only now moving away from fax machines as a communication method in the healthcare sector. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the inefficiencies of maintaining dated methodologies to resolve modern problems.

Proper. When I hear this word, I think of Albert Einstein’s quote, “never let your education get in the way of your learning.” What we perceive as proper (often the best practices established based on past education/experiences) will often cause us to resist learning about new technologies or innovative ways to support better outcomes. Additionally, some industry players (like the manufacturers of fax machines) will stifle innovation to prevent their products/services from becoming obsolete, often reinforcing existing and outdated methods as “the right way.”

This brings up the question; what is the right way? What is right is dependent on perspective and motivation. At NVT Phybridge, our mission is to help organizations optimize their IoT modernization the “right way.” We view what is right from the end user’s perspective. We also want to ensure we support the right way for those who serve the end-user, our valued system integrators, and manufacturing partners.

What is the right LAN design for the end-user for enabling IP and the Internet of Things? We asked customers what they would see as just and good, and this is what they told us:

  • A LAN design that ensures network security and minimizes potential cyber-attacks.
  • A LAN design that ensures a robust network for all endpoints.
  • A LAN design that never compromises the core business. For example, a casino’s network was hacked through an IoT fish tank sensor.
  • A non-disruptive and risk-free way to test and implement IP endpoints and applications in their business.
  • A LAN design that improves ROI by allocating budget away from infrastructure and towards devices and applications.
  • A LAN design that reduces network complexity and day two costs.
  • A LAN design that is flexible and will support future growth requirements
  • A LAN design that does not put undue stress on IT and application teams, given the ever-changing characteristics of a business network.

If you start from the outcomes that customers define as right, you will quickly conclude that the traditional approach of ripping and replacing infrastructure is wrong. It is like using fax machines to share documents. Of course, it works. But it is slow, inefficient, and outdated.

So why is ripping and replacing existing infrastructure the wrong way? Consider an organization that wants to modernize its communication or security systems with IP devices. They are advised that the proper way is to rip-and-replace the existing infrastructure that has proven reliable for many years and is paid for. These organizations will need new cabling and new switches and address new IDF closet requirements, all while layering the new devices on the same network managing the core business. Remember the fish tank story? This is not the right way, as this method leads to:

  • Accepting risk and disruption.
  • Compromising security and making security management more complex and costly.
  • Spending more than is required on the network to support IP and IoT devices.
  • Higher day two management costs.

Albert Einstein also said, “you can’t solve a problem with the same kind of thinking that created the problem.” The root cause of the problem is that traditional network switches have reach and cable type limitations, and all the attempted fixes were from this limiting paradigm. It doesn’t have to be that way if you are willing to learn about innovation and not allow your education to keep you thinking about what is proper versus what is just and good for you and your organization.

Modern LAN principles and NVT Phybridge PoE Innovations help organizations avoid all the wrongs associated with removing and replacing existing infrastructure, creating a robust and secure LAN design for IP and IoT solutions. The most powerful federal agency in the world, the leader in space research, and thousands of other organizations have levered these innovations to create better IP modernization outcomes. We want to do the same for you by offering you a no-obligation proof of concept trial. For NVT Phybridge, the best customer IP modernization outcome is what defines right, and fighting a deep routed paradigm of what is considered proper (rip-and-replace) is worth fighting for. Let us fight for you.

NVT Phybridge Case Study – Power Station

3-minute read time.

Summary

  • A large power station wanted to upgrade its outdated analog camera system with Bosch IP cameras, with minimal impact to existing infrastructure. However, the original Ethernet over Coax solution could not support the new IP cameras.
  • Reseller partner, VEI Protective Services, replaced the original solution with NVT Phybridge’s EC10 Ethernet over Coax switch.
  • The EC10 switch was quickly installed and connected seamlessly to the new Bosch IP camera system.

Problem

A large power station wanted to upgrade its outdated analog security system with Bosch IP cameras. However, the power station’s coaxial cabling was cemented underground. Ripping and replacing the existing cabling would cause structural damage, a significant increase in cost, and require months of additional work.

The reseller started to use an alternative Ethernet over Coax solution that did not perform to its specified capabilities and could not effectively support the Bosch IP cameras. There were several issues, including cameras consistently going offline. The customer needed a robust and reliable solution that could effectively leverage the existing coax cabling to support the new Bosch IP cameras system.

Solution

After considering the customer’s deployment issues, reseller partner VEI Protective Services spoke to the team at NVT Phybridge. The team was confident that the NVT Phybridge EC10 Ethernet over Coax switch would be the perfect solution for the customer.

The NVT Phybridge EC10 switch delivers fast Ethernet (100Mbps symmetrical, full-duplex) and PoE+ (30W per port) over Coax cable with up to 3,000ft (915m) reach – nine times the reach of standard Ethernet switches.

The power station was eager to try the EC10 solution and get their new camera system up and running, so they decided to move forward with the project.

Result

The EC10 switch was deployed quickly and easily. The customer’s new Bosch IP cameras connected seamlessly and ran without any issues. The customer was now able to enjoy the benefits of their new IP cameras, including drastically improved image quality, exposure, and data security.

“We just finished our camera conversion, and it was a breeze! Everything came up with no fuss,” said Scott Bush, Project Manager at VEI Protective Services. “If this equipment stays up as well as our test unit has, we will be recommending NVT Phybridge products on all network to coax jobs in the future.”

The customer was delighted with the results of the digital transformation project, having used the NVT Phybridge E10 switch to:

  • Avoid the need to remove and replace the existing cabling, limiting disruption to the facility.
  • Significantly reduce infrastructure costs, allowing the customer to allocate more budget to high-quality Bosch solutions.
  • Drastically reduce project deployment time, as the solution was simple and fast to deploy.
  • Allow seamless integration with the existing security network.
  • Avoid over 300 pounds of cabling e-waste.
