A large surveillance integrator needed a compact yet powerful switch to support multiple PoE cameras, power-hungry access points, and high-speed uplinks in their data cabinets. Their previous setup required separate power injectors and couldn’t handle advanced VLAN segmentation or link aggregation, leading to frequent instability and complex management.
