SYSTIMAX Constellation
Building Edge Infrastructure
Sold in the United States and Canada
The Constellation® 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, rack- or floor-mounted Constellation Points 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.
Boost Efficiency and Power with Constellation
Compared to traditional LAN/IP networks, Constellation provides 10 times more power and supports five times longer distances. Additionally, it reduces the need for extensive copper cabling and network components, contributing to environmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
