According to Statista, there will be around 31 billion devices connected to the internet by 2020, and that number is supposed to grow to 75.4 billion by 2025.
Nowadays, both industrial and commercial infrastructure are being outfitted with IoT technology, powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE).
With that being said, it’s no surprise that residential infrastructure
It wasn’t too long ago that specialized IT personnel were required to set up and install networks in our homes and offices.
Nowadays, everyone wants to have multiple devices on their home internet connection, so we’ve had to become the IT guys. We have routers and switches and other arcane networking devices in our homes that we’re expected to understand and manage on our own.
PoE is cheaper and more efficient than older, outdated networking systems. In fact, thanks to PoE technology, the Internet of Things (IoT) is also blowing up.
Soon, all of our cars, homes, and hotel rooms (just to name a few) will be connected through IoT technology, powered courtesy of PoE.
PoE is used to connect other devices as well, such as Wireless Access Points,

PoE installation is fast and cheap, especially when compared to older, outdated methods that require two separate cables – one for power, and one for data.
Although WiFi is a convenient luxury – one that we’ve grown accustomed to – it certainly has its shortcomings: random dropouts, slow speeds, and limited range are all issues that must be contended with.
