And so it begins...

SONET/SDH is an aging technology and operational networks still based on it then will need to transition to a packet switched network. In this paper, critical infrastructure network operators debating between IP, MPLS and Carrier Ethernet will find an updated comparison to help them understand the advantages and disadvantages of each. 

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:

With increasing numbers of service providers opting to use license-exempt radio frequency (RF) bands, the need to understand methods for overcoming the challenge of interference is critical. This white paper addresses the issue of interference in license-exempt bands and provides a number of approaches for its control and mitigation.

This document describes the important significance of building an air traffic control core service access platform supporting network operations, maintenance and management, and summarizes the features of an air traffic control core service access platform using RAD’s Megaplex (MP) series ofproducts to support air traffic control service transmission, and analyzes its deployment in air traffic control applications overseas.

Teleprotection signals from protective relays are among the most critical data transmitted across utility networks, as they help manage the power grid load, as well as to protect equipment within the power network from severe damages resulting from faulty HV lines.

The railway industry is undergoing a major change. Passenger demand is increasing due to a growing population and a rising preference for environmentally friendly travel options, making
public transport more essential than ever. Non-passenger railways are also evolving thanks to infrastructure investments and state-led initiatives. These changes are accompanied by

SecFlow-1p isn't just just another piece of hardware. It is a gateway designed with the security needs of utilities in mind and is equipped with various features to thwart cyber threats. SecFlow-1p ensures secure connectivity through VPN support, creating encrypted communication channels that protect data as it travels between the gateway and central systems.
 

At its most basic level, encryption is the process of protecting information or data by using mathematical models to scramble it so that only the parties who have the key can access it. That process can range from simple to very complex. Mathematicians and computer scientists have invented specific forms of encryption that are used to protect information and data that consumers and businesses rely on every day.

Telecommunications services and networks are driven by technologies such as packet-switching, Software Defined Networks (SDN). Leading packet switching technologies being deployed nowadays are Carrier Ethernet and MPLS with Segment Routing on the horizon.
