IRIStm Remote Power Switch Using the Network to Power Devices in the Home
GiaX has recently deployed a new reverse power solution for its IRIS MoCa Access based gigabit solution. This solution offers gigabit services to multidwelling units and single homes. The remote power solution has two compelling capabilities that differentiate it from other solutions in the market.
The first variant of the remote power solution is the use of the coax network to power the cable modems and gateways connected to the cable modem. This is achieved by using a Power Distribution Switch that is placed next to the IRIS network controller in the central distribution area. The Power Distribution Switch receives power from the mains and then distributes it through the coax network to power the cable modems and gateways, Power Over Ethernet (PoE) is used between the cable modems and the gateways. This eliminates the need for separate power supplies for each modem or gateway, reducing the overall cost of the system and simplifying installation.
One of the compelling reasons to use this variant is its cost-effectiveness. Since the power distribution is done through the existing coax network, there is no need for additional wiring or power supplies, which can be expensive. This reduces the overall cost of the system and makes it more affordable for customers. Additionally, the Power Distribution Switch can be easily installed next to the IRIS network controller in the central distribution area, further simplifying the installation process.
The second variant of the remote power solution is the use of the cable modems to power the IRIS network controller. This variant uses the cable modems as power sources for the IRIS network controller. This eliminates the need for a separate power supply for the network controller, further reducing the cost of the system.
One of the compelling reasons to use this variant is its flexibility. Since the IRIS network controller can be powered by the cable modems, it can be located anywhere on the network, making it easier to install and manage. This flexibility also allows for easy expansion of the network without the need for additional power supplies or wiring.
Another compelling reason to use this variant is its energy efficiency. By using the cable modems as power sources for the IRIS network controller, the overall energy consumption of the system is reduced. This not only saves energy but also reduces the overall carbon footprint of the system, making it more environmentally friendly.
In conclusion, GiaX's new reverse power solution for its IRIS MoCa Access based gigabit solution offers two compelling capabilities that differentiate it from other solutions in the market. The use of the coax network to power the cable modems and gateways and the use of the cable modems to power the IRIS network controller both offer cost-effectiveness, reliability, flexibility, and energy efficiency. These compelling reasons make GiaX's remote power solution a compelling solution for customers who are looking for a reliable and cost-effective solution for gigabit service
