Industrial IoT Gateways

Secure-by-design solutions for multiservice operational network, ruggedized substation LAN, distributed automation and smart meter backhaul, and distance and differential protection communications.

For Communication Service Providers (CSPs), IoT is a growth market. Service providers are beginning to develop and launch specific offerings for enterprises who are utilizing IoT as part of their core business, beyond the provision of simple data plans that enable network connectivity. 

The complete guide to selecting the Industrial IoT gateway that is right for your project size, deployment strategy and geographic spread.

And so it begins...

The findings presented in this report are based on detailed surveys among 21 major U.S. electric utilities representing 1,836 transmission and major distribution substations. They provide a clear indication on the current trends and operational technology (OT) network priorities of power utility operators.

Power utility networks are becoming smarter, automated and more connected, as they gradually transform into Smart Grids. Looking forward, there are several key trends that drive the design of tomorrow’s utility networks – most of which are closely connected with the rise of IoT (Internet of Things) – and which need to be accommodated by adequate communication solutions:

Challenge: Ensuring secure & reliable substation monitoring and control

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems play a crucial role in substation automation, as they enable operators to remotely monitor and control protection relays, circuit breakers, voltage regulators, and other substation equipment. 

As power grids become more interconnected and reliant on digital communication systems, ensuring cybersecurity becomes critical.
