Market Overview

A power over ethernet (PoE) controller is an essential device in the semiconductor sector, used to provide power and data through a single Ethernet cable to devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points.  It acts as power-sourcing equipment (PSE), providing power while maintaining compatibility with multiple PoE standards, such as IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt. The power over Ethernet IC identifies connected devices, negotiates power levels, and controls power distribution to avoid overloads. PoE technology streamlines network installations by removing the need for discrete power supplies, increasing flexibility in device placement, and lowering overall cabling expenses. In smart buildings, lighting driven by PoE increases energy efficiency through centralized management, dynamic dimming, and occupancy-based optimization. Likewise, security systems benefit from problem-free connectivity for the guaranteed operation of surveillance cameras, access controls, and alarms. As the number of smart building developments globally increases, PoE controllers are an essential requirement, driving power over ethernet controller industry expansion by being able to provide sophisticated IoT applications and facilitating the shift to energy-efficient, automated spaces.
