▶ Advantages of OCPP Protocol 4G Gateway

1. Flexibility: Modular Design for Multi-National Certification

Backward Compatibility: Quectel modules are designed to be compatible with older technologies, such as 3G networks, enabling smooth transitions and reducing upgrade costs.

Support for Multiple Certifications: Quectel’s EC21 and EC25 modules have been certified by over 80 major operators worldwide, including CE (Europe), FCC (USA), PTCRB, and ANATEL (Brazil). This ensures seamless operation in diverse markets.

Interchangeable Modules: The modular design of the gateway allows for easy replacement of communication modules to meet specific country requirements. For instance, modules certified for Europe can be swapped with those certified for Brazil or Japan without changing the overall system design.

2. Security and Data Management

Remote Management: Features such as remote firmware updates and real-time monitoring enable operators to maintain compliance with safety standards across different regions.

Advanced Encryption: The OCPP protocol incorporates robust security features, including encryption, authentication, and authorization mechanisms. These ensure secure data transmission between charging stations and backend systems, protecting against unauthorized access or tampering.

Compliance with International Standards: The gateway supports OCPP 2.0.1, which aligns with global security protocols like IEC 15118 for authentication and secure communication.
