  • What are the power requirements to run Aware's solutions?
    Sensors Batteries (types: Gateways: 120V Light socket to plug adapter Low voltage wiring (typically down to 50V) POE or Power Over Ethernet Powerline Internet Back Up: 6 hour battery back-up What is the difference between Powerline Ethernet and POE power over Ethernet: Power Over Ethernet deals only with POWER. Providing electrical power (typically 12V) using an Ethernet Cable. Ethernet cables have eight wires but only four are used for data transmission so if you’ve got a power over ethernet set of equipment on both ends, it means that both sides agree that they’re going to use wires 5, 6, 7 and 8 for transmitting electricity. POWERLINE INTERNET- is all about creating a LINE or a WIRE, which can be used to plug into the router or devices -it uses the electrical wiring, the building to create an “line“ the equivalent of a cable. Then if you connect one in the Internet, the other end can share that Internet connection but it’s primarily about a way to create Internet cabling in your building that doesn’t require expensive electricians and overtime and core drilling, etc. (Internal note) Power over Ethernet is a solution to the problem of “I don’t have any electricity or outlets in that area where you’re planning on putting the gateways. Powerline Internet is a solution to “am I gonna have to spend a lot of money for Union electricians to wire connections to all the gateways.
