More than 65% of the Ethernet access switches shipped worldwide in 2015 were PoE compatible.The transition from 1/10GbE to 40/100GbE is expected among modern cloudbased data center environments, which are virtualized and run high-performance computing (HPC).The increasing broadband penetration and growing network traffic will increase the requirement for high-speed Ethernet systems, thus driving the global PoE chipset market.With the increasing power requirements, new standards such as IEEE 802.3bt are being introduced in the market to accommodate high-power requirements.
