Siemon’s Digital Lighting Partner programme is specifically designed for network and low- voltage (LV) cabling contractors to help them leverage and further expand their knowledge of IP network deployment and become a go-to expert in the PoE lighting space, a market that, according to a new market research report by market research firm MarketsandMarkes, is estimated to grow from €6.5 billion in 2018 to €17.4 billion by 2023. Subsequently, customers looking to deploy IP-based intelligent building and PoE lighting technologies will be able to connect with low-voltage experts for new projects. n INTELLIGENTCIO 73
