Superior Essex Communications, a leading communications cabling manufacturer in North America, hosted a Technical Seminar titled “Sustainable Technology Innovations and Solutions for Smart Buildings,” for ICT professionals at Sofitel Al Khobar The Corniche, Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia.
Attendees learned about how Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) cabling systems can build sustainable, efficient smart building networks. PoE is an access-layer technology that combines data signals and electrical power into a single Ethernet cable connection to enable remote-powered device operation. As per the Power over Ethernet Market Research Report, the global market for PoE is anticipated to grow rapidly by USD 3.3 billion by 2030. According to the analysts, low maintenance demand along with low cost will drive the market growth throughout the forecast period. Superior Essex Communications is a pioneer in PoE cabling, with its premier PowerWise® product line exceeding many industry standards.
Paul Weintraub, head of international development for Superior Essex, guided the seminar and delivered presentations on PoE technologies and solutions. Werner Heeren, VP of Europe, Middle East and Africa for AEM Test and Measurement, and Kailash Kumar, Lead Manager of Product Marketing for nVent SCHROFF, also presented during the seminar. AEM and Superior Essex co-hosted similar events in 2022 and have agreed to continue this educational partnership in 2023.
“We want to cultivate a strong community of sustainable ambassadors to join us in our pursuit of a better tomorrow,” said Weintraub. “These events allow Superior Essex Communications to build industry relationships in this region and we are thankful for partners like AEM and nVent SCHROFF who pursue these values as well.”
Upcoming Events
Superior Essex will continue its mission to create more sustainable ambassadors within the ICT industry through educational seminars in the coming months. The cable manufacturer will also exhibit at CABLEXX in Cairo, Egypt, 15-16 March.
