Project Introduction
Location: Bangkok,Thailand
Project Name: hai PHEV Charging Stations Rely on ORing for Data Transmission Project
Products Deployed: IES-1080A
Project Requirement
- Industrial-grade durability
- Resistance to high temperatures and harsh conditions
- Compact design for cabinet installation
Thailand’s push to become an electric vehicle manufacturing hub has increased demand for charging infrastructure, particularly in Bangkok. To support this growth, EA Anywhere established more than 600 EV charging stations across the city and surrounding areas. The company wanted to collect and analyze charging data, including connection and disconnection times and energy delivered, to understand station usage and improve operations.
With most stations located outdoors, the network equipment needed to withstand demanding conditions, especially high temperatures, while fitting inside charging station cabinets. After evaluating several options, EA Anywhere selected ORing’s IES-1080A industrial Ethernet switches to support data transmission across its charging network.
Solution
EA Anywhere deployed 600 IES-1080A industrial Ethernet switches at its charging stations across Bangkok. Their compact design simplified installation inside cabinets, while rugged IP30 housings and an operating temperature range of −40°C to 70°C supported operation in demanding environments. Redundant power inputs helped maintain connectivity if one power source failed, supporting continuous transmission of charging data.
Using the data transmitted through the switches, EA Anywhere identified the busiest stations and peak charging periods at each location. The analysis revealed that stations with higher charging power and more charging ports were not necessarily the most frequently used. These insights helped the company better understand actual demand, make targeted operational improvements, and enhance the charging experience for customers.
