PoE+ Switch for a Hassle-Free Parcel Terminal Setup

Highlights

✔ Parcel terminals are sophisticated IoT solutions that need Internet and power for a whole mix of devices — often in places, where wired Internet is unreliable or impossible to achieve. Plus, managing a large network of terminals can become a logistical puzzle.

✔ The TSW101 PoE+ switch is your go-to solution, transmitting both power and Internet to all devices through a single cable. This toughly built device handles any environment, while cutting down on clutter and complexity.

✔ Let’s mix in the RUT951 mobile router to ensure an uninterrupted Internet flow, and RMS for remote management of the entire solution. Now we’ve got a setup that’s efficient, reliable, and easy to control from anywhere.

The Challenge – Setting Up Parcel Terminals Without Connectivity Chaos

With online shopping booming, parcel terminals are popping up left, right, and centre, offering a super convenient way to grab packages on the go. But behind the scenes, setting up and managing these IoT solutions is no walk in the park, given the fact that they heavily rely on network connectivity for operational efficiency.

Sure, wired Internet can empower such IoT solutions in some locations, but relying on it alone? That’s risky. One hiccup and boom — downtime.

Here’s the catch: these terminals aren’t just simple parcel lockers. They’re complex IoT solutions loaded with tech: security cameras, payment systems, screens, scanners — you name it. All that gear needs both power and a reliable internet connection to keep things running smoothly.

When it comes to parcel terminals, downtime is not an option. So, having 4G as the trusty backup makes sure the connection stays solid no matter what; even when wired connectivity does encounter these hiccups.

Now, multiply that setup across a whole network of terminals, often in different locations, and you’ve got a real logistical challenge. Plus, these terminals need remote management, because no one wants to send a tech out every time a payment terminal throws a tantrum.

Keeping everything powered, online, and easily manageable from afar? That’s the real challenge operators face.
