November 20, 2009 (FinancialWire) — Microsemi Corp. (NASDAQ: MSCC), a leading manufacturer of high performance analog/mixed signal integrated circuits and high reliability semiconductors, announced that it now has shipped power over Ethernet products having 70 million ports for powering devices ranging from WLAN access points and IP phones to security cameras and thin-client computers.

Microsemi’s PoE products include midspan power injectors capable of supplying up to 60 watts of power, and advanced PoE controller components used to design Ethernet switches and midspans.

Microsemi’s shipment of its 70 millionth port was delivered as an integral part of the company’s PowerDsine PD9000 midspan system to The John Marshall Law School in Chicago.

“We looked at a variety of options to provide power across our extensive wireless LAN and VoIP network, which spans three buildings and serves more than 1,900 students, staff and faculty,” said Amish Patel, Systems Operations Engineer at The John Marshall Law School. “Microsemi’s PoE midspans provided the solution we were looking for to eliminate the use of potentially hazardous power bricks installed throughout the campus in a maze of ceilings and cabinets.”

Microsemi’s 70-million-port milestone combines the aggregate shipments of a number of products in addition to the PD9000 midspan series. Also contributing to the total shipments are Microsemi’s fourth-generation PD69012 and PD69008 IEEE802.3at high-power PoE integrated circuits for managing power sourcing equipment. The company has secured more than 30 design wins for these new PoE PSE managers.
