GridRabbit Network Equipment

Managed PoE switches, site gateways, LTE failover routers, PoE ZigBee antennas, and Wi-Fi 6 access points form the field-ready network layer for GridRabbit deployments.

  • PoE site gateways
  • 8 port managed PoE switches
  • 4/5G LTE WAN failover
  • PoE ZigBee antennas
  • Wi-Fi 6 access points
  • Remote management
GridRabbit customer network example with switches, routers, PoE ZigBee antennas, and site gateways

A complete network kit for GridRabbit sites

GridRabbit network equipment is selected to make room-device deployments easier to install, support, and expand. The managed PoE switch can power site gateways, ZigBee antennas, and Wi-Fi access points, while the LTE router provides resilient WAN connectivity when a property network path is unavailable or needs backup.

  • PoE site gateways with optional 3G/LTE module availability.
  • Managed 8 Gigabit RJ45 port PoE switches with 2 SFP ports.
  • 4/5G LTE WAN failover router with dual SIM capability.
  • PoE ZigBee antennas that can also support Wi-Fi or USB connectivity.

Remote monitoring and replacement support

The network layer can be remotely monitored, managed, and visualized through the remote web interface. That helps support teams review equipment status, confirm PoE-powered endpoints, plan floor expansion, and replace network hardware without guessing what changed onsite.

  • Use one managed PoE backbone for gateways, antennas, and access points.
  • Reduce local troubleshooting with remote visibility into network equipment.
  • Support future network expansion and equipment replacement with clearer device roles.
GridRabbit PoE site gateway

PoE site gateways

PoE-powered site gateways connect GridRabbit room networks to the cloud and can be deployed with optional cellular module support.

GridRabbit managed 8 port PoE switch

Managed 8 port PoE switch

Eight Gigabit RJ45 PoE ports and two SFP ports power and connect gateways, access points, and PoE ZigBee antennas.

GridRabbit LTE WAN failover router

4/5G LTE WAN failover router

Four Gigabit RJ45 ports, dual-band Wi-Fi, and dual SIM support enable multiple failover scenarios for resilient service.

GridRabbit PoE ZigBee antenna

PoE ZigBee antenna

PoE, Wi-Fi, or USB capable antenna hardware connects room devices into the GridRabbit mesh and supports network visualization.

GridRabbit Wi-Fi 6 access point

PoE Wi-Fi 6 access point

802.11b/g/n/ac/ax Wi-Fi 6 access point hardware can be powered from the managed PoE switch for clean network deployment.

Customer network example

A property network designed for GridRabbit IoT operation

The Hyatt-style network example shows how GridRabbit equipment can sit between the building network, PoE floor switches, PoE ZigBee antennas, site gateways, LTE backup, PMS integration, and remote cloud services.

  • PoE floor switches distribute power and connectivity to ZigBee antennas.
  • Site gateways and LTE failover support resilient remote visibility.
  • VLAN separation can keep IoT, office, admin, PMS, and metering paths organized.
  • The same network layer supports thermostats, touch screens, sensors, switches, outlets, and EV/load control devices.

Equipment summary

The current Network Equipment PDF outlines the core equipment set and how the pieces work together: PoE site gateways, managed PoE switches, LTE WAN failover, PoE ZigBee antennas, Wi-Fi 6 access points, and remote network equipment management.

  • Managed PoE switches simplify local power and cabling.
  • Remote management reduces truck rolls during support and expansion.
  • PoE-powered GridRabbit network devices make future replacements easier to standardize.
