PLANET BSP-115HP-5A – Solar-Powered PoE Switch for Off-Grid Applications

The PLANET BSP-115HP-5A is a groundbreaking solar-powered PoE switch designed for remote deployments such as surveillance in forests, highways, national parks, or utility fields. Built on ESG principles, it runs on renewable solar, wind, or hydroelectric energy, and supports a wide range of batteries (lead-acid, lithium, lithium iron). It features 5 Gigabit PoE ports and 1 SFP fiber uplink, offering a sustainable and efficient networking solution.

Green, Flexible, and Resilient

Port 1 delivers 60W (IEEE 802.3bt), Ports 2–3 up to 35W (IEEE 802.3at), and Ports 4–5 offer selectable 24V passive or 48V active PoE+. With a maximum PoE budget of 65W, the switch also includes a 100/1000BASE-X SFP port for long-range fiber connections (up to 120km). The intelligent PD Alive Check reboots unresponsive devices, enhancing network stability.

Advanced Power and Network Control

Supporting simultaneous solar (PV), DC, and battery inputs, the BSP-115HP-5A features automatic charging and discharging logic with 98% efficiency. The built-in DIP switch enables VLAN isolation, extend mode (250m PoE at 10Mbps), voltage selection, and PoE mode control.
