January 06, Engineers at Amplicon Liveline chose GarrettCom’s new PS14P PoE Power Source Ethernet Switch. The PoE capability of the PS14P enabled the radio equipment to be located close to the aerials, minimising signal loss and maximising throughput. The solution only required a CAT 5 cable connection and no separate power cable, meaning greatly simplified installation and reduced future maintenance..
