Powering and connecting
the hyperconnected enterprise
The building edge infrastructure platform is a streamlined, modular and adaptable power/data solution specifically designed for today’s hyperconnected enterprise networks. It combines fault managed power, hybrid power/data fiber, and ceiling-based Constellation in an easy-to-deploy star topology.
The result is a simplified, scalable network that dramatically reduces the time, cost and complexity of supporting connected devices, in-building and across campus. Compared to traditional LAN/IP solutions, Constellation also eliminates the need for a significant amount of copper cabling, network components and even entire telecom rooms—helping you decarbonize the building and advance your ESG initiatives.

SYSTIMAX Constellation Enterprise Power and Data Platform
Constellation’s distributed star topology divides the building into multiple service areas, served with a single Constellation Point in each service area. Using fault-managed power technology to reach up to 500 meters, 5 times the distance, and deliver 1KW, 10 times the power, of traditional network cabling to each Constellation Point.
