With this network, 24VDC power isrouted throughout the room via conductors embedded in the drop-ceiling support structure. Userscan then tap into the low voltage supply from any location in the room.

Meanwhile, they also learned a lot: 1. Engineering truly can affect people’s lives even in a remote region. 2. The best technology is not necessary the state-of-art technology, but the one suitable for the settings and meet the needs. 3. The engineering solution is subject to the working constraints, especially the local infrastructure. 4.
