May 04, 2015 by Jeff Shepard

Akros Silicon Inc. announces the opening of a new office in Shanghai, China, to meet increasing product demand. The office is located at Building #2, BaiCun Park, Wang Yuan Road, FengXian District, Shanghai, and is Akros' second office in China, the first being in Shenzhen. Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology is experiencing a renaissance with power level capability increasing beyond 30W to upwards of 90W.

This increase is essential for meeting the power requirements of outdoor, pan-tilt-zoom IP cameras and opens opportunities for PoE-based smart lighting for office and commercial environments. Akros’ silicon technology makes it possible to integrate multiple ICs, high-voltage isolation and discrete components into a single device, thus enabling electronic OEMs to develop cost-effective and energy-efficient solutions.

“Akros Silicon has seen tremendous growth in sales in China with our PoE and integrated digital isolator products,” said Elie Antoun, President & CEO of Akros Silicon. “The establishment of a new office Shanghai will allow us to provide local technical and logistical support to our growing customer base in Central and Northern China.”
