Simplifying Enterprise Network Deployments

Microsemi offers unique and innovative solutions to address some of the key deployment and management challenges faced by enterprise network administrators. Our industry-leading technologies include:

• Synchronization: Precision network synchronization and accurate time stamping across distributed systems are critical to a wide range of enterprise IT markets for regulatory compliance, data analysis, data logging, auditing and many other applications.
  • Microsemi's NTP servers, which connect to various potential sources of synchronization, including GPS inputs, to distribute accurate timing using the NTP protocol. When used as a master clock in enterprise networks, NTP servers secure accurate time by reducing network exposure to vulnerable public time servers or external attacks;
  • For indoor small cell deployment, Microsemi’s indoor wall/ceiling mounted IEEE 1588 IGM Grandmaster with integrated GNSS receiver and antenna eliminates the need for an outdoor antenna and related cabling which dramatically decreases the effective cost of the solution while providing all the performance requirements of a 1588 Grandmaster;
  • For security against GPS spoofing and jamming, Microsemi technology protects GPS-delivered position, navigation and timing (PNT) data for critical infrastructure sectors, such as enterprise, telecommunications, government and emergency services.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE): PoE is a key technology in deploying WLAN, IP telephony, IP cameras, as well as emerging applications such as thin clients, small cells, and access control devices into enterprises. Microsemi's PoE and Power over HDBaseT (PoH) Systems can be used to deploy any device consuming up to 95W through a Category 5 or better cable infrastructure in a safe manner. Microsemi offers the largest portfolio of standards-compliant PoE midspans that can power enterprise network equipment in a variety of deployment scenarios – for indoor as well as outdoor applications.
