nicolasdepinto on 09 Feb 20The article discusses how a soon to be opened 164 rooms property the Sinclair Hotel in Fort Worth Texas, will become one of the world most green-friendly property thanks to being the first one to implement power over Ethernet (POE) technology. Ethernet cables are traditionally used for landline phones and routers connections, but POE lets network cables carry electrical power, allowing the hotel to control and power its lights, window shades, smart mirrors, minibars, and back-up battery generator from a computer network; which reduces energy consumption and labor costs. This technology is universal and in theory could be applied anywhere, reshaping the way we design electrical systems.

ggara004 on 11 Feb 20This article was very interesting! The Sinclair Hotel has been around since 1930, now they are working to revamp the building to make it power its own technology through Ethernet. This will effectively prepare the hotel for any outages on the property and notifications of issues with technology.
