9dot

What 9dot does

9dot designs and manufactures intelligent modular power management systems, Power over Ethernet (PoE) injectors, and GPS-synchronized power distribution equipment for telecommunications operators, WISPs, video surveillance, smart city, and industrial infrastructure applications. The company is headquartered at the Navacchio Technology Park in Pisa, Italy, operates as 9dot Srl Unipersonale, and was founded by Francesco Zaccaro. Its products are organized into three platform-plus-modules families: Active Power Stations (nCore 2U and nCore-Lite 1U modular systems with hot-swappable input, output, controller, and battery cartridges supporting up to 2,400W), Sync Injectors (GigaSync V3 with up to 12 ports and 2,880W capacity, plus LiteSync), and Smart Power Compact Systems (8INJ, C-POE, C-TER, SPI V2, SPP). Core technical differentiators include a dual-processor design for uninterrupted firmware upgrades, the GigaKey electronic configuration system, active surge protection with 2-stage TVS-GDT, dual AC input with battery backup providing 8–10 hours of autonomy, and embedded GPS receivers certified for synchronization with Cambium Networks, Ceragon, and Intracom Telecom equipment.

The company's revenue model is hardware-centric, generated through unit sales of power systems and modular cartridges to enterprise telecom operators, mid-market WISPs, and government/security end-customers. Pricing is quote-based with no public list; sales are executed via a global distribution network led by Winncom Technologies, complemented by regional distributors (SICE Telecomunicazioni in Italy, Skylinks in Ireland, Streakwave Wireless in USA/Australia, and VanCo in the Czech Republic) and direct enterprise engagement for large deployments. Named reference customers include EOLO (2,000+ GigaSync units), Rise Broadband (USA's largest fixed wireless provider across 16 states), Sacred Wind Communications, Aristotle Unified Communications, Tekwerks, ib-red, Opiquad, and the Italian Marina Port Authority.

9dot is a privately held, founder-controlled company with no disclosed external institutional investors, venture capital, or private equity backing. In 2026 it opened a second office in Pordenone at the Polo Tecnologico Alto Adriatico to scale R&D and joined the EU-co-funded Project MADRE consortium to develop next-generation multicore electronic platforms for smart energy management, signaling continued investment in technology and adjacent applications beyond its WISP core.

Core offering

9dot designs and manufactures intelligent power management and Power over Ethernet (PoE) systems for telecommunications infrastructure, wireless networks, and critical connectivity applications. The portfolio includes Active Power Stations (nCore, nCore-Lite), GPS-synchronized Sync Injectors (GigaSync V3, LiteSync), and Smart Power Compact Systems (8INJ, C-POE, C-TER, SPI V2, SPP) with modular hot-swappable cartridge architecture, remote management via web/SNMP/SSH, integrated battery backup, and active surge protection.

Product overview

9dot designs and manufactures intelligent power systems for wireless networks, telecoms, and critical infrastructure. The product portfolio is organized into a platform-plus-modules architecture comprising three main product families: Active Power Stations (nCore and nCore-Lite modular power systems with hot-swappable cartridges), Sync Injectors (GigaSync V3 and LiteSync GPS/PoE injectors), and Smart Power Compact System (8INJ, C-POE, C-TER, SPI V2, SPP). The nCore platform accommodates input modules (NCORE-ACDC, NCORE-DCDC), controller modules (NCORE-CMD), output modules (DC Output), and battery management modules (NCORE-BATTERY). GigaSync supports interchangeable cartridges including GS-G-POE-CS, GS-G-POE, GS-G-TER, and GS-G-TER-CS. Made-in-Italy products ensure reliable power distribution and network performance across video surveillance, telecommunications, and industrial applications.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Eaton Corporation: Eaton provides rack PDUs, power management software, and surge protection for telecom and data center infrastructure. It competes with 9dot in the rack-mounted power distribution and remote management category with much broader scale.
• MikroTik: MikroTik provides low-cost routers, switches, and PoE equipment widely deployed by WISPs globally. It competes with 9dot indirectly through lower-priced PoE switching solutions bundled into broader networking ecosystems.
• Ubiquiti Inc. Ubiquiti offers a broad networking and PoE portfolio (switches, gateways, power supplies) heavily used by WISPs and ISPs worldwide. While not specialized in power management, it competes with 9dot's PoE switching on price and bundling for the same WISP customer base.
• CyberPower Systems: CyberPower manufactures UPS, PDU, and surge protection products for IT and telecom environments. It overlaps with 9dot's rack power and surge protection portfolio (nCore, SPP) as a broader incumbent with greater scale.
• TP-Link Technologies: TP-Link is a high-volume manufacturer of PoE switches and injectors at consumer/SMB price points. It competes with 9dot's Smart Power Compact System family in lower-end installations where advanced sync and modularity are not required.
• APC by Schneider Electric: APC is a global leader in rack PDUs, UPS, and power management for data centers and telecom. It competes with 9dot's nCore family at the high end of carrier-grade installations and benefits from significantly greater scale and brand recognition.

Direct peers

• Phihong Technology: Phihong is a major manufacturer of PoE injectors, power adapters, and DC power supplies for networking and telecom equipment — directly comparable to 9dot's PoE injector portfolio in product type and target customer segment.
• Tycon Power Systems: Tycon Power designs and manufactures PoE injectors, switches, and remote power systems specifically for WISP, telecom, and wireless infrastructure applications — a very direct product overlap with 9dot's PoE and DC power platforms serving the same customer base.
• Teletronics International: Teletronics specializes in outdoor PoE systems, surge protection, and remote power management for wireless broadband and CCTV deployments — closely mirroring 9dot's WISP and security/surveillance use cases with overlapping product functionality.

Others

• Cambium Networks: Cambium is 9dot's primary technology/integration partner and dominant fixed wireless equipment vendor. While not a direct power-management competitor, it overlaps in the WISP ecosystem and could become a competitor if it vertically integrates power/sync functions.
