-Yes, but the current standard will remain in effect and be supported by a large number of Technology product Manufacturers. The working name for the Upgraded Standard is “PoE Plus”. It mainly refers to the amount of wattage capable of being delivered to the End Device. The current PoE Standard is 15.4 watts maximum (This number is effectively 12.95 watts at the End device). PoE Plus seeks to raise this wattage level to perhaps somewhere in the range of 35 to 50 watts. Work on the additional Standard is ongoing, watch for news in the marketplace and updates here on this website.
