Utility companies must ensure their sites operate flawlessly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Due to this, these plants use resilient Ethernet networks as the backbone for communication between sites. Integration of legacy devices into the IP backbone is often a necessity, and for monitoring, remote access is crucial. Accessing the network remotely via the internet increases the need for cyber security to ensure that it cannot be tampered with, either accidentally or purposefully.
Private networks offer a secure and reliable alternative for remote access in the utilities sector. By leveraging private LTE or 5G networks, utilities can ensure high availability and low latency for critical operations, even in remote areas. This approach not only enhances cybersecurity by isolating the network from public internet threats but also provides greater control over network management and performance
The use of private LTE networks, like the 450 MHz spectrum, is growing as an alternative to commercial mobile networks.
View isolated and unmanned sites holistically with remote connectivity.
Feed data from remote locations into a large system, allowing visibility, manageability, and monitoring.
