As the global electric vehicle (EV) market continues to surge, the intelligence and reliability of charging infrastructure have become focal points in the industry. Germany-based K Corporation, a global leader in EV charging equipment manufacturing, specializes in providing efficient, intelligent, and secure charging solutions. To ensure network stability and high-speed data transmission, K Corporation has selected WIWAV industrial switches as the core communication hardware for its charging systems. These switches enable the company’s infrastructure to deliver exceptional stability and management efficiency across a variety of deployment scenarios.
This article explores the application needs of K Corporation’s charging systems, the critical role played by WIWAV industrial switches, and their practical value in advancing intelligent charging infrastructure.
1. Current Landscape of K Corporation’s Charging Infrastructure
K Corporation has long focused on developing smart charging solutions for homes, businesses, and public stations. As demand grows, their systems are encountering increasingly complex challenges:
1.1. High-Concurrency Device Connectivity
Modern charging stations involve numerous charging units, smart meters, and energy management systems that must be efficiently interconnected to ensure synchronized data flow and reliable operations. During peak periods, managing load balancing, real-time billing, and power distribution depends heavily on stable network performance—any loss or congestion can disrupt user experience.
1.2. Remote Management and Real-Time Monitoring
Due to their widespread deployment, charging stations require robust remote monitoring capabilities, including status tracking, fault alerts, and energy consumption analysis. Chargers must stay connected to the cloud to enable both user access and operator diagnostics.
1.3. Environmental Resilience
These systems often operate in harsh conditions, such as cold climates, hot regions, or dusty, rainy environments. Network hardware must resist electromagnetic interference, lightning, or electrical surges to ensure uninterrupted communication.
1.4. Cybersecurity Requirements
As charging networks handle sensitive data such as payments and authentication, strong security is essential. Supporting data isolation and preventing unauthorized access are key to protecting users and the network.
To overcome these challenges, K Corporation adopted WIWAV industrial switches and deeply integrated them into its intelligent EV infrastructure.
2. Core Advantages of WIWAV Industrial Switches
WIWAV switches deliver unmatched performance in demanding environments and are critical to K Corporation’s network infrastructure:
2.1. High Reliability – Continuous 24/7 Operation
• Extreme temperature tolerance (-40°C to 85°C) ensures stable performance from arctic to desert climates.
• IP40-rated enclosures provide dust and moisture resistance for outdoor setups.
• Redundant power input (in select models) maintains network uptime even during primary power failure.
2.2. High Bandwidth, Low Latency – Seamless Data Flow
• All-Gigabit Ethernet ports support high-speed video feeds, metering, and transaction data.
• Low-latency architecture ensures real-time data access and precise load adjustments.
• Intelligent traffic prioritization ensures critical tasks such as payments and cloud sync are not affected by non-essential data flows.
2.3. Smart Data Isolation – Enhanced Security
• VLAN support enables segmentation of devices and systems into isolated virtual LANs.
• Sensitive information such as payment and user data is separated from general system traffic, strengthening defense against cyber threats.
3. Deployment Scenarios for WIWAV Switches in K Corporation’s Charging Network
WIWAV switches are vital to the following applications:
3.1. Urban Charging Stations
These require seamless integration of chargers, payment systems, and video surveillance. WIWAV ensures reliable connections to the cloud, enabling real-time system monitoring and higher operational efficiency.
