The Growing Role of Network Infrastructure in Physical Security

Physical security isn’t just about cameras and alarms, it’s built on reliable network infrastructure. Low-voltage and fiber-optic cabling might not sound glamorous, but they’re the backbone that supports modern security systems.

Today, security devices rely heavily on Power over Ethernet (PoE), a technology that powers devices like IP cameras and access control readers directly through network cables. This simplifies installations, saves energy, and reduces costs significantly. But PoE requires robust cabling infrastructure to handle high bandwidth demands without disruptions.

Fiber-optic cables play a crucial role here. They deliver high-speed, reliable data transmission over long distances, ideal for large commercial complexes, government institutions, or sprawling campuses.

Proper network infrastructure ensures your surveillance and access control systems operate seamlessly, offering maximum uptime and reliability. Progressive Systems excels at implementing these foundational elements, ensuring your security network is always reliable and efficient.
