A municipal warehouse must keep its existing non-PoE switches but still power new APs over Ethernet. Which PSE approach fits that constraint?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Stuck with a plain switch? Drop a midspan injector in the path—power joins the party without ripping out the switch. The AP still drinks; the old switch still only does data.
Full Explanation
A midspan PSE inserts power onto the Ethernet link between a non-PoE switch and the AP, allowing PoE delivery without replacing closet switching. That is the common technician choice when budgets preserve existing data-only switches. QoS and radio power settings do not substitute for a real PSE.
