Furthermore, NVT Phybridge’s technology plays a crucial role in promoting sustainability by helping businesses reduce waste and carbon footprints associated with infrastructure replacement. This partnership enhances Pestra’s ability to deliver scalable, flexible, and eco-friendly communication and security solutions, especially for organizations transitioning to IP-based networks.
“With NVT Phybridge, we empower our clients to make smarter, cost-effective decisions without compromising on quality or performance. Our long-reach PoE technology is not only about cutting costs, but also about reducing disruption, minimizing downtime, and promoting sustainable business practices,” said Vincent Matthys, RSL / Sales and Business Development Director Europe at NVT Phybridge.
