COSTA MESA, Calif., Nov. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- EnGenius, a leading innovator in connectivity solutions, is thrilled to announce the launch of their Switch Extender series starting with the EXT1105P. This cutting-edge solution is set to redefine how companies approach network expansion, engineered to meet the surging network extension demands of Multi-Family, Senior Living, Student Housing, and Hospitality businesses, including voice connectivity. With its Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology and multiple PSE output ports, the EXT1105P Switch Extender liberates businesses from the complexities and high costs associated with network cabling and power wiring and allowing them to effectively expand their networks.

Addressing Industry Challenges

Expanding networks, regardless of industry, poses significant hurdles, including:

1. Physical Distance: Covering vast areas requires flexible, simplified, long-distance deployment solutions.
2. Cost Constraints: Network expansion can be cost-prohibitive; the Switch Extender solution minimizes expenses.
3. Power Availability: The Switch Extender series' Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology effectively addresses power constraints and lack of power outlets.
4. Deployment Complexity: Technical intricacies are reduced through user-friendly design, cloud management, and simple deployment.
5. VLAN Trunking: Extending network segmentation to encompass every room, ensuring that each resident has VLAN-based personal networks within their apartments or dorms.

Powering Your Connectivity
The EXT1105P leverages PoE technology, enabling power transmission through PoE switches, making flexible installations in remote areas a reality. The Switch Extender also boasts Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) output capabilities, streamlining network expansion even in locations without power outlets, which allows seamless connectivity for various devices, including cameras, speakers, and access points.

Streamlined Management with EnGenius Cloud

EnGenius combines the Switch Extender series with its unified EnGenius Cloud solution for streamlined network management and offering an end-to-end networking solution. This integrated platform empowers administrators to efficiently oversee a range of EnGenius products, from Access Points and Switches to Gateways and PDUs, all in one centralized location, centralizing tasks to boost efficiency and cut operational costs. Simplified onboarding and configuration templates eliminate the need for on-site visits, reducing deployment time and expenses. Immediate connectivity ensures businesses can optimize operations quickly and hassle-free. Added with EnGenius' cloud-managed PDUs and their self-healing features, the Switch Extenders offer an efficient power management solution for any extensive environment.

CAPEX and OPEX Benefits
