Transition Networks announced a new eight-port, fully managed Power-over-Ethernet ++ (PoE++) switch (SISPM1040-582-LRT) designed for connecting and powering internet of things (IoT) devices in harsh or outdoor environments. Transition Networks will debut the new switch at the International Security Conference & Exposition, known as ISC East. The switch is one of the first to be introduced that supports the new IEEE 802.3bt standard for PoE++, which was ratified in late September.
