PowerDsine Launches Public Sector Grant Program in United States and Canada; Will Award $100,000 in PoE Equipment to Public Sector Institutions Deploying WLAN, VoIP or IP Surveillance Systems.FARMINGDALE, N.Y. & HOD HASHARON Hod HaSharon (הוד השרון "Splendor of the Sharon" in Hebrew) is a city in the Center District of Israel. Officially declared a city in 1990, Hod HaSharon was created from the union of four neighboring small towns: Magdiel, Ramatayim, , Israel -- PowerDsine Ltd. (Nasdaq:PDSN PDSN Packet Data Serving Node (Nortel Networks) PDSN Public Data Switched Network ), a pioneer in Power over Ethernet Power over Ethernet or PoE technology describes a system to transmit electrical power, along with data, to remote devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet network. (PoE) solutions, today announced that it has launched a Public Sector Grant program that will offer a total of $100,000 worth of PoE Midspan products to qualifying healthcare, government and education institutions operating in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. and Canadian provinces. All grants under the PowerDsine Public Sector Grant Program award PoE Midspan solutions to eligible institutions operating in the public sector, specifically healthcare, government and education. Furthermore, eligible institutions based in the United States and Canada must possess an immediate need to implement PoE products supplied through this grant for the purpose of supporting Wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area , Voice over IP (VoIP) or IP surveillance systems. PowerDsine Midspans, which are fully compliant with the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.3af PoE standard, allow IT managers to inject PoE into existing Ethernet networks without replacing legacy Ethernet switches. Keeping legacy equipment may result in cost-savings to many organizations in the public sector. By utilizing a PoE Midspan in the communications closet, IT managers can deliver data, voice and power via existing Ethernet switches and cabling to end devices, such as Wireless LAN access points, VoIP phones and IP surveillance cameras. As plug-and-play devices, the addition of PowerDsine PoE Midspans to existing network infrastructure is simple and quick. A PoE Midspan that is also connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply See UPS. (hardware) Uninterruptible Power Supply - (UPS) A battery powered power supply unit that is guaranteed to provide power to a computer in the event of interruptions in the incoming mains electrical power. (UPS), increases the reliability of the network application in the event of a power outage Noun 1. power outage - equipment failure resulting when the supply of power fails; "the ice storm caused a power outage" power failure equipment failure, breakdown - a cessation of normal operation; "there was a power breakdown" . Combined with any Ethernet switch, the PoE Midspan serves as a standard-compliant power source for PoE enabled end-devices that are connected to the Ethernet Network. Public Sector Grant Kits PowerDsine is offering three types of grant kits: the "Wireless PoE Kit," the "Voice over IP PoE Kit" and the "IP Security PoE Kit." All three kits are tailored to provide product support for all IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices as well as legacy devices supplied by all manufacturers, including Cisco. The average total of each of these kits is expected to be approximately $5,000 of PowerDsine equipment, with a maximum set at $8,000. The PowerDsine Public Sector Grants are administered through PowerDsine. Applications are available at www.powerdsine.com or upon request from PowerDsine at 631-756-4680 x 431. All applications must be submitted via fax or mail to PowerDsine by July 31, 2005. Notification letters will be issued August 1, 2005. About Power over Ethernet Technology PoE is a technology for wired Ethernet, the most widely installed local area network technology in use today. PoE allows the electrical power necessary for the operation of each end-device, to be carried by data cables rather than by separate power cords. It minimizes the number of wires that must be used in order to install the network, resulting in lower cost, less downtime, easier maintenance and greater installation flexibility. About PowerDsine PowerDsine Ltd.
