As part of the continuing implementation of ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) values in networking products and solutions, PLANET has developed energy-saving and eco-friendly networking and communications equipment for the global market. The technology further reduces carbon emissions to help decrease pollution to the environment. PLANET innovative Green Networking solution includes zero-carbon renewable energy Ethernet Switch, Renewable Energy Management Controller Series and Power over Ethernet (PoE) products.

Challenges when implementing network infrastructure in off-grid areas:
  • Deploying electrical grid in vast remote region
  • Reducing environmental impact
  • Remotely monitor network by administrators
PLANET developed energy-saving and eco-friendly networking and communication equipment

With cutting-edge technology, PLANET presents to customers its latest off-grid Industrial Renewable Energy Solution to solve the problem of setting up surveillance networks in nature conservation areas, off-grid medical centers and other remote environments.

PLANET Renewable Energy Management Controller Series
Off-Grid Ethernet Solution with Renewable Power System

Catering to the needs of network deployment in remote areas, PLANET incorporates green energy such as solar, wind and hydroelectric power, together with PLANET exclusive intelligent PoE technology, to effectively extend stable networking communications in harsh environments like mountains, forests, and deserts. PLANET Intelligent Renewable Energy Management Controller (NMS-360 Series) and Industrial Renewable Energy PoE Switch (BSP-360) provide hassle-free and maintenance-free solution for remote security surveillance and long-distance wireless communications networks that require high-speed connectivity, deployment flexibility and reliable operations.

Energy-saving and eco-friendly networking and communications equipment
Industry-leading Integration of PoE Technology & Renewable Power System

PLANET Industrial-grade Renewable Energy PoE+ Managed Switch (BSP-360), built with advanced green technology, can be charged by renewable energy, making it perfect for remote applications in remote expansive environments such as dams, national parks, highways and others. The BSP-360 effectively transfers green energy to PoE power in order to provide electricity to PDs including IP cameras and access points deployed in the network. It can support PV module input up to 400W of power.

Exclusively Intelligent Renewable Energy Management Controller

Designed for off-grid renewable energy applications, PLANET Renewable Energy Management Controller series (NMS-360 Series) is the world’s first controller that integrates green technology and exclusively intelligent PoE management functions to provide users with real-time remote management over green energy usage, and connected PD operation statuses.

Using intelligent renewable energy management controller to remotely monitor green energy usage and operation statuses

Together with PLANET award-winning product, Renewable Energy PoE Switch (BSP-360), the NMS-360 Series provides synchronous information on green power and battery status, and instant/average PoE power usage analysis, as well as traffic logs that are compliant with MQTT protocol and PLANET Smart Discovery. The NMS-360 series automatically detects and manages up to 512 BSP-360 switches along with 2048 IP cameras via its user-friendly web UI. Through web management, IT staff at the headquarters is able to centrally monitor and control the network of remote areas without having to go to the actual site.

Here are the highlighted features of the latest NMS-360 Series:

  • Integrates SNMP, ONVIF, and MQTT protocols and PLANET Smart Discovery
  • Auto discovery of up to 512 PLANET BSP-360 Switches and up to 2048 PoE IP cameras
  • Central provisioning and controlling over each managed device
  • Intuitive dashboard to monitor green power, battery status, network traffic, PoE usages of the BSP-360, and device status
  • Setup wizard; event alert notification via e-mail
  • Mapping and monitoring of IP cam snapshots
  • Backup and restore via USB 3.0
  • Supports PLANET DDNS and Easy DDNS
Installing renewable energy PoE switch at remote areas
Green PoE (Power over Ethernet) Solution
Reduce the need for extra cables by using existing network structure for surveillance wireless network
Green Cabling Deployment

PLANET PoE Solution supports IEEE 802.3af/at/bt PoE standard to easily expand surveillance or wireless network with the existing network structure without deploying extra cables, thus saving tremendous cost on cabling and power adapters.

Energy Saving Cable Transmission

Compared to the traditional Ethernet Switch system that consumes energy in full regardless of how long the cable is, PLANET new network devices utilizing the cable detection function can automatically detect the cable length and the energy while transmitting. As a result, the whole system will save at least 40% of power usage while using the short cable in the network.

By detecting the length of the network cable and energy transmitted, Green PoE can help reduce power usage
Monitor and manage PoE devices efficiently with PLANET PoE switches
Intelligent Power Management System

PLANET PoE Switches provide smart PoE management functions such as Auto Temperature Detection to protect the whole network system and client device from being damaged due to overheated, over-loaded and un-regulated power system; PoE Power Detection to improve the maintenance efficiency; and Auto-detection of connected devices for efficient network management. Besides increasing the work efficiency, those intelligent functions can help to extend the lifecycle of PLANET products.
