Siemon’s Digital Lighting Partner
programme brings low-voltage
business opportunities
/////////////////////////////
S
iemon, a leading global network
infrastructure specialist, has continued
its commitment to adding value to its
global network of installers and contractors
by developing and enhancing the Digital
Lighting Partner (DLP) programme.
It is uniquely designed to deliver business
opportunities to a network of Siemon
installers by leveraging key industry
partnerships and growth in the development
of intelligent buildings.
The growth of IP-based intelligent building
and Power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled
lighting technologies is rapidly turning the
role of network cabling into a building asset
that not only supports voice and data but an
array of building automation system (BAS)
services over one structured cabling network.
These include audio and video, energy
management, lighting controls, security, digital
signage, fire and safety systems, heating,
ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC).
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.
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.
Installers and contractors joining Siemon’s
DLP programme will benefit from specialised
training with remote or onsite sessions
and access to a vast pool of educational
resources including webinars, white papers
and technical guides. Additionally, members

some of the world’s leading PoE equipment
manufacturers, lighting vendors, systems
integrators, software application developers
and managed services providers, as well as
experienced intelligent building consultants
and developers.
“We take great pride in our partnerships
and we feel this approach creates most
value for customers by leveraging the
innovative offerings from the ecosystem
of partners that we can pool together to
offer truly unique solutions for sustainable
smart buildings now and in the future”,
said Lee Funnell, Head of Technical Services
Group for Europe, Russia and Africa at
Siemon. “Our digital lighting partners also
benefit from joint marketing and branding
opportunities which help expand their reach
and exposure to PoE lighting and intelligent
building projects.” n
