The maximum number of WebSocket connections Tecell’s OCPP gateway can support depends on the specific hardware and configuration, but it is designed to handle high-density deployments with hundreds of simultaneous connections per gateway instance. This scalability ensures that even large charging networks can maintain reliable communication between chargers and the central management system.
How Connection Limits Are Managed
Tecell’s OCPP gateway uses efficient connection pooling and asynchronous processing to manage multiple WebSocket connections without performance degradation. Each connection is monitored for latency and data throughput, ensuring consistent communication even under heavy load. The system dynamically allocates resources based on real-time demand, preventing bottlenecks that could affect charging operations.
For deployments with many chargers, administrators can configure connection limits per gateway to balance performance and resource usage. This flexibility allows operators to scale their infrastructure according to site-specific needs, whether managing a small fleet or a large public charging network.
Practical Implications for Fleet Operators
Fleet operators benefit from the gateway’s ability to support high connection counts, especially when integrating with multiple charging stations across different locations. The system’s design allows for centralized monitoring and control, reducing the complexity of managing individual chargers.
In practice, this means that a single gateway can serve as the communication hub for dozens or even hundreds of chargers, depending on the deployment. This capability is particularly valuable for enterprise clients who need to manage large-scale charging infrastructure efficiently.
