As smart cities evolve, traditional roadside smart poles face significant challenges. System integrators struggle with inconsistent power access in remote locations, limited bandwidth for HD surveillance, and the growing vulnerability of remote networks to sophisticated cyberattacks. PLANET's advanced networking products deliver high-speed 5G connectivity, high-power PoE, and future-proof cybersecurity to elevate smart pole infrastructure from the edge to the core.

Self-Sustaining Remote Power and 5G Connectivity
At the heart of the smart pole, the Industrial 5G NR Cellular Gateway with 4-Port 10/100/1000T PoE+ (ICG-2515P-NR) provides ultimate flexibility and performance. Powered by the latest 5G NR technology, it delivers ultra-fast, low-latency, and reliable wireless connectivity essential for mission-critical industrial environments. To overcome the limitations of the main power grid, the entire smart pole can be powered remotely. By connecting a solar panel system to the ICG-2515P-NR, administrators can sustain continuous operation for all connected devices without relying on traditional utility grids.

High-Capacity PoE for Wireless and Surveillance
Delivering data and power simultaneously, the ICG-2515P-NR features a robust 120W PoE power budget to effortlessly drive essential edge devices. It seamlessly powers the Wi-Fi 7 Dual Band 802.11be 3600Mbps Outdoor Wireless Access Point (WDAP-3600BE) to broadcast expansive, ultra-fast Wi-Fi coverage to the surrounding area. Concurrently, the generous power budget easily supports high-definition IP cameras for real-time, uninterrupted surveillance, maximizing both connectivity and public safety in the smart pole environment.

Remote Management and Future-Proof Quantum Resilience
Using PLANET's CloudNMS Management App, the admin can remotely monitor and configure devices through the cloud, making management seamless and efficient. To protect mission-critical infrastructure from evolving threats, the ICG-2515P-NR integrates a built-in Hardware TRNG for secure cryptographic key generation and features PQC TLS (Post-Quantum Cryptography TLS) readiness. This proactive, hardware-anchored security architecture enhances long-term cybersecurity, ensuring that remote roadside deployments remain strongly defended against both current intrusions and emerging quantum computing threats.
