As smart cities evolve and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) expand across the United States, the demand for fast, secure, and resilient networking infrastructure has never been greater. Enter PLANET Technology, the Taiwan-based pioneer in industrial networking solutions. This year at COMPUTEX in Taipei, PLANET revealed an extensive suite of next-generation technologies tailor-made for high-performance networking across smart city infrastructure, IoT, AI, and intelligent industrial systems.

Founded in 1993 and now operating in over 160 countries, PLANET has emerged as a global leader in IP network transmission technology. Its innovations span across IoT, IIoT, and AIoT applications—delivering real-time performance, remote management, and sustainability.

Built to Last – Rugged Networking for Extreme Environments

PLANET’s legacy of robust performance shines through its industrial-grade PoE solutions, engineered to function in the harshest environments. With over three decades of experience, the company has developed products like the IGS-6329-8UP2S4X, a 95W EMC-certified Managed Switch, which adheres to stringent EN61000-6-2/-6-4 and EN50121-4 railway standards. Designed to handle extreme temperatures and vibration, this switch is essential for applications in railways and remote locations.

The IMS-6325-5 Industrial Modular Ethernet Chassis Switch furthers PLANET’s commitment to scalability and eco-conscious design. With interchangeable modules, this switch allows for easy upgrades and minimal hardware waste—supporting both performance and sustainability.

Securing the Pulse of Smart Cities and ITS

With the rapid adoption of smart city infrastructure and ITS, data reliability and speed are crucial. PLANET addresses these challenges with 802.3bt 95W PoE devices that support 2.5G/10G speeds, combined with 5G NR Cellular Gateways, Outdoor Units, and Wi-Fi VPN Security Routers. Together, they deliver seamless, high-performance data transmission critical for applications in healthcare, commercial real estate, and government infrastructure.

For surveillance, PLANET’s Industrial PoE Managed Switches come with Intelligent PoE Management to monitor power usage, automate reboots of unresponsive devices like IP cameras, and ensure stable, 24/7 operation.

The company’s new ITS Series Industrial L3 PoE Managed Switches are purpose-built for transportation networks. These switches meet EN50155, EN45545-2, and IEC 61373 standards and feature rugged elements like 10G M12 ports, bypass relays, and ERPS for redundancy, ensuring uninterrupted data flow in railways and traffic systems.

Smart Management, Smarter Decisions

PLANET has transformed network management with tools like the Universal Network Management Central Controller (UNC-NMS) and NMSViewerPro app. These platforms allow centralized control, cloud access, and real-time analytics—all while improving cybersecurity and energy efficiency.

The latest CloudNMS takes flexibility a step further, allowing administrators to manage their entire network remotely without the need for physical management controllers, contributing to smarter operations and greener IT.

Leading with Purpose – A Green Tech Vision

PLANET doesn’t just innovate for performance—it’s leading the charge in sustainable networking. The AIoT Application Server supports LoRa, Wi-Fi, HaLow, and Modbus protocols to monitor real-time energy data, emissions, and ESG performance.

In a bold industry-first, PLANET unveiled the BSP-360 Renewable Power PoE Managed Switch, which enables fully off-grid operations powered by renewable energy—paving the way for carbon-neutral networking infrastructure.

Commitment Beyond Connectivity – ESG at the Core

PLANET’s vision extends far beyond technology. The company is a recognized ESG leader, committed to Net Zero Carbon by 2050, sustainable supply chains, and biodiversity preservation. With certifications like ISO 14067 and ISO 14064-1, and inclusion in Forbes Asia’s 2024 Best Under a Billion, PLANET walks the talk.

It has received accolades including the Excellent Corporate in CSR, Top 1 in Excellence in CSR, and the Humane Entrepreneurship Award. Its first Climate and Nature Report was validated under the TCFD framework, demonstrating transparency and long-term strategic foresight.

PLANET Technology is not just building networks—it’s building the backbone of tomorrow’s sustainable, intelligent world. Whether it's the pulse of a smart city or the heartbeat of a train station, PLANET ensures the signal is strong, the connection is secure, and the future is green.
