Nano-techpower  is looking at Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology compatibilties with our battery technologies within  PoE IEEE standards, which find its applications  Wimax Base station, fixed devices, and house  appliances.

The PoE referes to a transmission of  electrical power along  with data to remote devices over standard twisted-pair in an Ethernet Network Architecture. PoE is practical for powering IP Telephones, Wireless LAN Access points (Wi-Fi), Security Remote Area Webcamera, Ethernet Hubs, Embedded Computers, and other appliances, where it would be inconvenient, expensive where  wiring in a building or a remote area  must  be done by qualified and licensed electricians for legal or insurance reasons or infeasible to supply power separately.  

Digital Wireless Telecom., Inc.  business strategists look at this technology as a great marketing tool to expedite the deployment of Broadband Access in remote, and under-developed rural areas, as a bundle with powering house appliances, and devices as well as powering  up hydraulic pumps to bring clean  drinkable water to remote houses  in small communities.  In particular in developing countries where power infrastructure are expensive to deploy, and are not wide spread as it is common  here in the developed countries.

The  Business case make  a perfect sense   for a small pop concentration 3,000+ in the US, agricultural areas and small hospitals and clinics serving such small areas and villages. It is also a perfect back up power in an emergency, and security surveillance  situation as long as the reliability of the Newtork is  in the four(nine's) 99.99%.

Our  Technology and future IEEE standards, nano-techpower, and Digital Wireless Teelcom., Inc. work closely to stay on top of the new developments and new standards to meet  and be compatible with them hardware and software wise. A New task force was formed on September 2005 to look into a new  IEEE standars known as PoE+, or  IEEE802.3at.

The 802.3at Task Force objectives are along the following lines:

• 802.3at should operate on  Cat. 5 and higher infrastructure, unlike 802.3af, that had take into account the Cat.3 limitations.
• 802.3at should follow the power safety rules and limitations pertinent to 802.3af
• A 802.3at PSE must be backwards compatible with 802.3af, being able to power both 802.3af and 802.3at PDs.
• 802.3at should provide the maximum power to PDs as allowed within practical limits, at least 30 W.
• 802.3at PDs, when connected to a legacy 802.3af PSE, will provide the user an indication that a 802.3at PSE is required.
• Research the operation of midspans for 1000BASE-T 
• Research the operation of midspans and endspans for 10GBASE-T
