Edge Span U1000AD-ST UPS for Starlink

Edge Span U1000AD-ST UPS for Starlink is a multifunctional smart node designed specifically for Starlink scenarios. Starlink scenarios are often located in remote areas, where the environment is relatively complex and the power supply is often unstable. Starlink often has various network devices hanging down, and their power consumption standards are different. Some use AC power, some use DC power, and some use POE. Edge Span U1000AD-ST provides 1000VA AC power for Starlink scenarios, as well as 400W DC48V power. In addition, it provides 802.3at and 802.3bt POE interfaces for network devices. Finally, it also provides corresponding POE power supply for Starlink. This simplifies the deployment of the entire scenario.

In addition, in view of the complex environment of Starlink deployment in remote areas, Edge Span U1000AD-ST is designed with IP65 ingress protection.

Edge Span U1000 UPS for Starlink has an embedded IoT router, which can integrate different external sensors such as weather stations, environmental sensors and other devices according to customer requirements, and process the data at the edge and upload it to the software platform.

In short, with the deployment of Edge Span U1000AD-ST, the network, power supply and control of Starlink deployment will be greatly simplified, making the deployment of Starlink’s overall solution fast and integrated.

Weakness of Traditional Starlink UPS Scenario

Although Starlink deployment in remote areas solves the problem of backhaul network, applications in various scenarios need to be built by customers themselves. For example, CCTV cameras provide security monitoring, WIFI APs provide network coverage, and some IoT sensor monitoring data is backhauled. The figure above shows a typical Starlink application scenario, which uses traditional UPS, POE switches, and IoT routers. Although this achieves the goal, it has the following weaknesses:

Complex power supply and network topology

When we build the whole solution in the traditional way, the power and network topology are too complicated. It should be noted that since Starlink sites have no network, they are generally located in relatively remote areas. Building a relatively complex solution in a remote area is very uneconomical from the perspective of maintenance and installation.

The variety of equipment makes transportation to the site expensive

As we can see, there are many types of equipment in traditional solutions. As we mentioned before, Starlink sites are generally located in remote areas. Therefore, it is not easy to transport these devices to the site. And if the power backup time is long, the lead-acid battery will be very heavy, which greatly increases the transportation cost.

Site construction and commissioning costs are high

The cost of construction and debugging based on such a topology will be very high. It is conceivable that engineers with certain skills will be required to go to the site for installation and debugging. However, because the site is remote, the time spent by the engineers on the road plus the debugging period will make the total cost very high.

High cost of monitoring and maintenance

It can be found that it is difficult to monitor all devices when building the entire solution with this traditional topology. It is also not easy to find a software platform to monitor all devices. Because the site is located in a remote area, if the device is not monitored and managed by the software, then when the entire solution fails, it is difficult to know what happened. In this way, engineers have to be sent to the remote site to locate the problem, which greatly increases maintenance costs.

All in One UPS for Starlink Solution

Compared with the traditional UPS for starlink, Edgeware provides an all-in-one solution. We believe that UPS is a smart node aggregation node. Through Edgeware’s Edge Span series all-in-one smart node technology, we integrate UPS, POE, IoT router, lithium battery, edge computing and other technologies into an IP65 enclosure.

UPS Remote Monitoring and Management

The UPS system is the core component of the Edge Span U1000AD-ST Starlink UPS. Its stable operation is crucial to the entire system. The UPS operating status, input and output parameters, and various alarm conditions can be monitored and managed. This allows maintenance personnel to know the working status of the UPS system remotely by monitoring the operating parameters.

Battery Management System

The life and operation of the battery are also very important for the operation of Edge Span U1000AD-ST Starlink UPS, especially when there are a large number of sites and power outages are very frequent. After 5-10 years of site deployment, it is inevitable that some batteries will need to be replaced because they have exceeded the usage limit. At this time, if there is a battery management system in the Edge Span U60-LTEP, its status can be remotely monitored to understand the number of charge and discharge cycles to determine the maintenance plan. The built-in BMS of Edge Span can provide you with various information such as battery voltage, current, power, power, number of cycles, single cell voltage, cell voltage balance, etc. to help you understand its operation status through our software platform at the maintenance center.

Envrionment Management

The deployment environment of Edge Span U1000AD-ST Starlink UPS is relatively complex, so Edge Span has built-in temperature and humidity sensors that can synchronize real-time conditions to the software platform.

POE Management and Control

CCTV cameras and WIFI ap devices sometimes freeze, and the solution usually requires restarting these devices. However, because Starlink is often deployed in remote sites, it is not easy to restart these POE devices at the site. To address this problem, the POE port in the Edge Span U1000AD-ST UPS for Starlink can be remotely restarted through the Edgeware software platform, helping customers solve the problem without having to go to the site.

Third Party Software Platform Integration

Although Edgeware has its own software platform, customers often have their own considerations for the management of the entire network and have their own management system or OSS. POE UPS is only part of customer network.Therefore, Edge Span can also provide services that are integrated into your third-party platform.
