(Photo: Belden, PR318)St. Louis, Missouri - January 23, 2014 - Belden Inc., a global leader in signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications, announces the availability of a new Hirschmann Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector. The new SPIDER Giga 2TX PoE EEC is an efficient solution for powering devices, such as IP cameras, IP telephones or WLAN access points. It makes it possible to expand networks, using PoE functionality without replacing any standard switches, so power can be transported directly via the data cable. As a result, there is no need for sockets/power lines for separate power supply units or PoE switches. The data port of the PoE injector, which supports Gigabit Ethernet, can simply be coupled with a standard switch, and the respective device connected to the PoE port. Since this port can supply up to 30 watts, even devices with higher power consumption can be powered.

Belden introduces new WLAN firmware that extends the useful life of industrial wireless devices

Belden introduces new WLAN firmware that extends the useful life of industrial wireless devices. 
(Photo: Belden, PR301) Neckartenzlingen, Germany - October 29, 2013 - Belden Inc., a global leader in signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications, has introduced Hirschmann HiLCOS 8.8, the latest version of its WLAN firmware to manage its highly successful range of OpenBAT industrial wireless devices. This version is an industry first as it supports IPv6, which is intended to replace IPv4. A key benefit is that the useful life of installed wireless devices can now be extended, as they will still be able to communicate via public WLAN networks for which IPv4 addresses are now no longer being allocated. Product Manager Pascal Unterdorfer explains: “The new HiLCOS 8.8 firmware opens up new possibilities for using WLAN in automation, for example, in power supply applications. These use public networks to control power distribution, making IPv6 routing an absolute must.”
