1. Product Overview

The Siemens VersiComm is an all-in-one, multiprotocol intelligent node solution for both Wi-Fi and cellular networks, and is built for large scale EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) implementations handling up to 25 charging stations. VersiComm is capable of handling large network traffic at stellar speeds by integrating a combined, premium Wi-Fi and cellular access point, while implementing maximum network security measures .

Wi-Fi Communication

The Siemens VersiComm is equipped with an InRouter915L along with two, powerful omnidirectional antennas. The Siemens VersiComm supports IEEE 802.11 B/G/N.

Cellular Communication

Significant cost savings can be achieved for an at-scale installation when consolidating cellular connectivity from up to 25 charging stations into one VersiComm. The VersiComm utilizes the InRouter915L multiprotocol intelligent node along with two, omnidirectional cellular antennas, Ideal for large scale networks, the IR915L uses 4G/LTE networks.

Security Features

With cyber security becoming an ever-increasing issue, the Siemens VersiComm meets the challenge by providing a number of local area network security features including WEB/WPA/WPA2 for Wi-Fi and Local Authentication, Radius, TACACS+, LDAP, SPI, ACL, NAT, PAT, DMZ, Port Mapping, GRE, L2TP, IPSec, DMVPN, OpenVPN, PEM, PKCS12, SCEP, Anti-ARP, DMZ, and MAC filtering.

Easy Installation

Siemens VersiComm comes ready to operate when shipped. Each VersiComm has a pre-commissioned ATT 4G LTE data plan inside, and is configured specifically for VersiCharge SG products. Due to the number of unique installations mounting hardware is not included with the device. Provisions for mounting are provided, using brackets that are mounted on the four corners at the back-side of the unit. The unit can be mounted in a location of your choosing, with only conduit or cabling for 120v or 208/240V AC connections required. If conduit is not provided, sufficient strain relief on the cable should be provided by the customer inside the enclosure. During the installation, care should be taken to not compromise the door seal, and to maintain the NEMA rating.

Outdoor Enclosure

VersiComm is equipped with a rugged NEMA 4 enclosure; the combined cellular/Wi-Fi access point meets strict UL, IEC, FCC, CCC, RCM, and PTCRB standards. The Siemens VersiComm is built-to-last and is suitable for most weather environments.
