What PLANET Technology does

PLANET Technology Corporation is a Taiwan-headquartered, TPEx-listed provider of IP-based networking products and solutions founded in 1993. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes a broad portfolio spanning Layer 2/3 managed and unmanaged Ethernet switches, 802.3bt PoE++ switches and injector hubs (up to 95W per port), industrial Ethernet (EN50155 railway, DIN-rail, 5G NR, LoRaWAN gateways), media converters (including the industry's first standalone 10G managed converter with ERPS), broadband equipment (GPON/XGS-PON OLT/ONU), Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi 7/6, Wi-Fi HaLow), IP surveillance, IP telephony, industrial automation (Modbus, EtherCAT), and home/building automation. Differentiated offerings include the AIS-1000 edge AI Surveillance Station (13 TOPS NPU, LLM-based natural language video search, IEC 62443-4-1 certified), the ZT-800 Zero Trust Security Gateway with PQC-ready TLS, and the CoreTrust Key PUF-powered FIDO2 security key.

The business operates a dual revenue model combining unit-priced hardware sales (the dominant stream) with recurring software and cloud services through the CloudNMS cloud-based management platform, UNI-NMS controllers, and NMSViewerPro and CloudNMS mobile applications. Go-to-market is sales-led through enterprise field sales and a global channel of regional distributors, system integrators, and value-added resellers, supplemented by trade-show presence at COMPUTEX Taipei, The Smarter E Europe, and Manufacturing Expo Thailand via the TAITRA Taiwan Excellence program. PLANET serves SMB, Enterprise, and SOHO customers across ten-plus verticals including industrial automation, smart manufacturing, intelligent transportation, renewable energy, smart cities, hospitality, education, and aerospace (notably a PoE switch used in a lunar mission), with named case studies in Brazil, Taiwan, Egypt, Philippines, France, Germany, and the USA.

PLANET has been TPEx-listed for over 30 years, ranks in the top 5% of 1,810 TPEx companies in Corporate Governance Evaluation for the ninth time, and has validated near-term and net-zero emissions targets with the Science Based Targets initiative. The company holds ISO 27001, IEC 62443-4-1, and ISO 14064-1 certifications and participates in TNFD, CDP, and IFRS S2 sustainability frameworks.
