Module 1/3: Connect
Connect your chargers
to the world
With Exolink Connect, CPOs are finally in control!
Our Connect module, an OCPP broker with many additional functions, provides direct access to the communication between backend and charger, as well as the freedom to send data to your own data lake.
Without influencing existing and functioning operations, but allowing them to be permanently optimised and supplemented.
Use Case
Unlock the future of
EV Charging
As a charge point operator (CPO), you face the challenge of operating your charging infrastructure efficiently and cost–effectively.
However, you are often tied to a single charge point management system (CPMS) that only gives you limited access to your own data and offers you little flexibility in choosing or changing your backend.
This dependency can significantly limit the innovative strength and competitiveness of your company.
With our Own Your Data and Own Your Business solutions, we offer you the freedom and control you need. You get direct access to all your Charger data and can run multiple CPMS in parallel, allowing you to stay flexible and choose the best system for your needs – or switch risk–free when it becomes necessary.
Find out how Exolink can help you take full control of your data and your business.
Own Your Data
Full control over your charging point
data
Gain full control over all the data generated by your charging stations. Our solution offers secure storage, full access, flexible analysis tools and the ability to integrate and manage data from different sources. Whether you are creating reports, analysing usage data or optimising the performance of your charging infrastructure - you decide how you use your data.
Own Your Business
Independence through parallel and flexible CPMS usage
Operate several backends in parallel, giving you the opportunity to test and compare their performance. This module offers the flexibility to find the best backend for your requirements and enables a risk-free switch from one backend to the next. This allows you to remain independent and adapt your business strategy dynamically.
More flexibility
OCPP proxy to the backend
The OCPP Broker integrates easily between your chargers and backends. With the protocol transcoder active, you can also connect applications without OCPP functionality.
This allows you to implement billing from SAP or control chargers from your asset management system, for example.
Flexibility and agility
The perfect addition to your backend systems
With the OCPP Broker, you decouple the chargers from the restrictions of your backend system and get your own highly available OCPP endpoint for all your chargers and wallboxes, whether it's for 10 or tens of thousands.
You continue to use your backend system as usual, but instead of the OCPP address of your backend provider, you store the OCPP address of Exolink in your chargers and the address of your backend provider in Exolink. This makes testing new backend providers, using different backends for different charger groups or developing your own backend child's play.
One endpoint for all chargers & wallboxes
The OCPP Broker: Highly available OCPP endpoint, OCPP proxy and protocol translator to HTTPS and MQTT for the integration and connection of any backends, CPMS or ERP systems. The OCPP Broker doesn't compete with your backend systems, but increases flexibility in dealing with them.
OCPP endpoint
The OCPP Broker independently maintains the WebSocket connection to the chargers and OCPP backends.
Multi-protocol support
The Exolink OCPP Broker supports OCPP versions 1.2, 1.5, 1.6 out of the box.
Decoder / Encoder
OCPP to the Charger and HTTP/S or MQTT to your applications. No problem with our encoder.
Charger groups
Group chargers as desired and then treat them differently, e.g. for labs or pilot systems .
Encrypted connection
Connect your chargers to the OCPP Broker via Secure WebSocket or VPN.
