SCADA Substation Automation
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems ensure secure & reliable substation monitoring and control.
RAD provides encrypted end-to-end SCADA communications over fiber and cellular infrastructure: The SecFlow IoT gateway is deployed in each substation to provide communications to the central SCADA site via an MPLS network and/or LTE. The LTE/Private LTE can also serve as a backup in case of a failure of the optical link. A security gateway is deployed at the SCADA central site to terminate IPsec tunnels and forward the IEC 104 and DNP3 traffic to the SCADA controller.
