Minisforum S100
There are general application scenarios for the S100 Mini PC with PoE connection.
It is usually used in home use as a TV or desktop that stays on for a long time.
Outdoors, it can be used as a billboard or in other control systems that require long operation with low power consumption.
It should be noted that when using a PoE power supply, the power consumption is 25.5W.
VoIP telephone system
Corporate communication systems use PoE-powered VoIP telephones to facilitate unified management and cabling.
Router with PoE
Wireless Access Point (AP): Provides wireless network coverage in shopping malls, schools, airports, etc. without the need for separate cabling and power supply for each access point.
Industrial automation system
In industrial environments, PoE can provide a stable power supply for sensors, controllers and other devices and support long-distance transmission.
Smart building systems
This includes smart lighting, security systems, environmental monitoring, etc. It increases deployment flexibility.
Retail and hospitality
Use PoE-powered electronic tags, payment terminals and monitoring systems for easy device management and maintenance.
IoT and smart city
PoE technology can power various IoT devices and sensors in smart city applications and supports large-scale deployment.
Multimedia playback
In digital signage or multimedia playback systems, PoE can power media players and facilitate the deployment of information display devices in public areas.
The benefits of PoE technology include simplified cabling, reduced installation costs, increased flexibility and reliability, and support for remote management and power supply for a variety of applications that require both network and power.
However, the development of PoE technology also brings new challenges, such as increased power, distance limitations for power supply and wire quality requirements. Therefore, these factors must be considered when designing and implementing a PoE system to ensure the stability and reliability of the system.
