Mumbai, March 1st 2025] – DBS is proud to announce the successful remote install – commissioning of Cisco Mumbai’s Power over Ethernet (PoE) retrofit project—the first 100% PoE retrofit project of its kind globally. This milestone achievement was made possible through the outstanding on-site support provided by SigmaByte, whose expertise ensured a seamless execution.
As the Low Voltage Contractor (LVC) and Electrical Contractor (EC) for the project, SigmaByte played a crucial role under DBS’s supervision in adapting the existing fixtures to be fully PoE-compatible, setting a new benchmark for large-scale retrofits in the industry.
The project presented unique challenges, including a restricted daily on-site work window that impacted workflow. However, SigmaByte’s team demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication, ensuring smooth installation despite these constraints. As with any retrofit, obstacles were anticipated, including a manufacturer error involving separately wired LED boards and minor LED board issues. Yet, thanks to the team’s precision and problem-solving abilities, the deployment proceeded efficiently.
A common issue in projects of this scale is the incorrect placement of daisy chain devices. However, SigmaByte executed the installation flawlessly, adhering strictly to DBS’s design specifications. This resulted in one of the smoothest large-scale PoE retrofits to date, with minimal installation errors—a testament to the team’s expertise and commitment to excellence.
As the first-ever 100% PoE retrofit project globally, this achievement underscores the critical role of a skilled and detail-oriented installation team in driving innovation and efficiency in PoE technology. DBS extends its sincere gratitude to SigmaByte for their exceptional contributions to this groundbreaking project.
