PoE+ / PoE++ Ready
Power IP phones, access points, cameras, and door intercoms directly from the switch. SIPPER calculates your total PoE budget to ensure every device gets power without oversubscription.
Overview
Why SIPPER for Network Switches
A switch is not just a switch. The wrong PoE budget means your IP phones and cameras lose power. The wrong VLAN design means voice and data traffic compete. SIPPER sizes PoE, configures QoS for VoIP, and designs your network to scale.
VoIP-optimized QoS
As a VoIP provider, SIPPER configures QoS policies that prioritize voice traffic across your switch fabric. No choppy calls, no dropped packets — because we understand both the network and the voice system.
Multi-brand Expertise
Cisco for enterprise, Aruba for wireless-first networks, H3C for cost-effective L3 switching, UniFi for SMB simplicity. SIPPER picks the right brand for your budget and requirements.

We calculate exact PoE requirements for IP phones, APs, cameras, and door intercoms — then select switches with the right PoE budget and class support.
FAQ
Common questions about Network Switches
H3C vs Cisco — what’s the difference?
H3C offers comparable L2/L3 features at 40–50% lower cost. Cisco has broader ecosystem integration and stronger brand recognition. For cost-conscious deployments without specific Cisco requirements, H3C delivers excellent value.
How many PoE ports do I need?
Count your IP phones, access points, cameras, and door intercoms. Add 20% headroom for growth. SIPPER provides a detailed PoE budget calculation as part of every network design.
Do I need Layer 3 switches?
If you have multiple VLANs and need inter-VLAN routing without depending on a router or firewall, yes. For single-site offices with a firewall doing routing, Layer 2 managed switches are usually sufficient.
Can you integrate switches with our existing VoIP system?
Yes. As a VoIP provider, SIPPER configures QoS, VLAN tagging, and LLDP-MED on switches to work seamlessly with Yeastar, 3CX, or any SIP-based phone system.
