For maintainers of EV charging sites, factors such as safety of EV charging sites, real-time access to centrally controlled web management and usage data are important to be taken into account especially when in preparation for the roll-out of EV charging sites. However, for users or EV drivers, they care about the friendliness of using EV charging point and timely supports in unstaffed charging environments. To satisfy needs of both maintainers and users alike, CTC Union provides a complete Ethernet network transmission solution to address concerns or challenges expressed. The challenges include the following:

Challenges

• ● EV charging sites may be located in extreme environments where weather conditions change rapidly.
• ● EV charging sites need uninterrupted power supply.
• ● EV charging sites need stable and smart PoE services.
• ● EV charging sites need redundant power supply supports and redundant protection supports.

CTC Union's Solution

To enhance users' experiences, the use of power sourcing equipment (PSE) such as IGS-1608SM-8PH, IGS-804SM-8PH, can be adopted in EV charging sites to provide power over Ethernet services to powered devices (PD) such as IP cameras, WiFi AP, IP Phone. These CTCU powered devices are cost-effective, fanless, wall-mounted or DIN-Rail enabled switch that can withstand wide range of temperature changes from -40°C to 75°C. Therefore, they are perfect devices especially for outdoor applications that may undergo extreme weather conditions.
For maintainers of EV charging points, CTCU Web-Based SmartView EMS can provide real-time and comprehensive view of connected Ethernet devices. If connected end devices placed in the remote site go wrong, network administrators in the centrally controlled site can take actions immediately, including making an immediate warm reboot of the mal-functioning powered device. Moreover, charging usage data can also be transmitted to the centrally controlled system. By doing so, maintainers can use these first-hand usage data for future analysis so that tailored services can be provided in the future.
