A common question we receive is about power options for the central communication hub: does the electronic shelf label gateway support Power over Ethernet (PoE)? The answer is a clear yes. Our electronic shelf label gateway is designed with streamlined deployment in mind and fully supports PoE (802.3af standard). This means you can power the gateway using the same standard Ethernet cable that provides its network connection.

This integrated design offers a significant advantage in terms of installation simplicity and efficiency. Instead of managing two separate cables—one for power and one for data—your installers only need to run a single, standard network cable to each gateway location. This not only reduces material costs but, more importantly, saves considerable time and labor during the setup process. It allows for cleaner, more discreet installations, especially in areas where access to a traditional power outlet might be limited or where running additional electrical conduits would be complicated and expensive. By converging power and data into one reliable cable, PoE support makes the deployment of your electronic shelf label gateway network more straightforward, cost-effective, and flexible, allowing you to focus on the benefits of a synchronized pricing system rather than the complexities of its installation.
