Solution Overview
Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) face a fundamental challenge when deploying base stations in remote areas: how to power multiple devices efficiently when grid power isn't available.
A typical remote base station requires:
• Backhaul radios to connect to the core network
• Access point radios to serve customers
• Surveillance cameras to protect equipment
• Wi-Fi APs for community hotspots
Each of these devices may have different power requirements — some need 48V PoE++, others require 24V Passive PoE. Traditional solutions force you to piece together inverters, multiple power supplies, and separate injectors, creating a messy, inefficient, and failure-prone installation.
Our 5-Port FusionPoE Switch changes that.
One WISP PoE switch. One DC battery banks. All devices powered. Clean. Simple. Reliable.
The Challenge: Powering Remote WISP Base Stations
When deploying base stations in off-grid locations, WISPs typically face three major hurdles:
| Challenge | Description |
| No AC Power | Remote sites rely on solar panels or DC battery banks (12V/24V/48V). Standard PoE switches require AC power, forcing you to add inefficient inverters. |
| Mixed Power Requirements | Backhaul radios often use 24V Passive PoE for Ubiquiti, MikroTik, and Cambium devices, while surveillance cameras and Wi-Fi APs require standard 48V PoE+/PoE++. Traditional solutions need separate power sources for each. |
| Complex Installations | Multiple injectors, power supplies, and cables create clutter, increase failure points, and make troubleshooting a nightmare — especially on towers or poles where space is limited. |
| The result: Higher equipment costs, lower power efficiency, and more time spent on installation and maintenance. | |
The Solution: One Switch, All Devices Powered
5-Port FusionPoE Switch — Purpose-Built for WISP Deployments
| Port | Function | Technical Specifications |
| Ports 1-3 | Standard PoE++ Output | 802.3bt compliant, up to 90W per port. Powers surveillance cameras, Wi-Fi APs, and other standard PoE devices. Backward compatible with 802.3at/af. |
| Port 4 | 24V Passive PoE Output | 12W@24V, pinout 4/5(+), 7/8(-). Dedicated for wireless bridges and radios from Ubiquiti, MikroTik, Cambium, and other 24V Passive devices. |
| Port 5 | Uplink Port | Connects to network backbone for data transmission. |
Key Advantages for WISPs:
| Advantage | Description |
| No Inverter Needed — True Solar Powered PoE Switch | Accepts 12-54V DC input directly from solar panels or battery banks. Single-stage conversion achieves 95%+ efficiency — up to 20% longer runtime than inverter-based systems. This is a solar powered base station solution. |
| Mixed Power Output — The Ultimate WISP Power Solution | One switch simultaneously powers 48V PoE++ devices AND 24V Passive PoE radios. No separate injectors, no multiple power supplies. It's a complete remote network power solution. |
| Clean Installation | One DC cable in, one Ethernet cable to each device. Minimize clutter on towers and in cabinets. |
| Industrial-Grade Reliability | Wide operating temperature (-40°C to 75°C), surge protection, and robust design for outdoor environments. |

Why WISPs Choose This Solution
1. Higher Efficiency, Longer Runtime
Traditional approach:
Solar (DC) → Battery (DC) → Inverter (DC to AC) → Standard PoE Switch (AC to DC) → Devices
‘’Two conversions = up to 20% power loss’
Your approach:
Solar (DC) → Battery (DC) → Our WISP PoE Switch (DC to PoE) → Devices
‘’Single conversion = 95%+ efficiency‘’
Result: Your solar powered base station stays online 2-3 hours longer each night — critical for maintaining service availability.
2. One Switch Does It All
No more mixing and matching:
• ❌ Separate 24V Passive PoE injectors for Ubiquiti radios
• ❌ Separate PoE switches for cameras and APs
• ❌ Multiple power supplies and messy cabling
One switch. One DC power source. All devices powered.
3. Simplified Installation
| Traditional | With Our Switch |
| 5-6 components | 1 switch |
| Hours of wiring | Minutes of cabling |
| Multiple failure points | Single point of failure |
| Difficult troubleshooting | Simple diagnostics |
4. Proven in Global Deployments
Our remote network power solutions are deployed in WISP networks across:
• Rural broadband projects in the United States
