Access clients

The in-room edge of the network

IPC clients sit at the end of the coax, telephone pair, or fiber already in the building and turn that drop into multi-gig Ethernet with PoE++ for the devices in the room. One port or eight, in-wall or on the desk, plus Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 access points on the same wiring.

Why IPC clients

Built for the wiring that is already in the room

The client is where a ReadyLinks network meets the guest, the tenant, and the device. Every model is designed to be installed in an occupied building without new cable.

PoX

Powered from the headend over the same wire

Telephone-pair and camera clients such as the IPC-1T, IPC-1T-DECORA, IPC-4SBNC and IPC-4STP take ReadyLinks PoX line power from the host switch, so the room needs no outlet and no power supply.

RPF

Or power the host from the room

Reverse power feed clients like the IPC-1C-RPF-POE and IPC-2C send up to 140 W back up the coax, so a compact GL host can hang in a hallway or on a pole with no outlet of its own.

PoE++

90 W per port where the device needs it

802.3bt PoE++ on the IPC-1CP, IPC-2C, IPC-2F-ET, IPC-4C / 4T and IPC-8 models powers Wi-Fi 7 access points, PTZ cameras, displays and phones straight from the client.

Budget depends on the power supply or line power available; see each product page.
Voice

Keep the phone line working

The IPC-2TCP passes the analog phone line through on the same telephone pair it uses for ReadyLink, so a hotel or MDU keeps its POTS service while the room goes multi-gig.

Cameras

IP video over BNC coax and shielded pair

The IPC-4SBNC terminates the RG-59 already run to an analog camera and the IPC-4STP does the same on shielded pair, each delivering GbE with PoE+ to the new IP camera.

ReadyView

Managed through the host switch

Clients are provisioned, monitored and updated in ReadyView alongside the switch that feeds them, so a thousand rooms look like one network.
