RAD offers ruggedized, multiservice and compact Industrial IoT gateways with Edge Computing and an advanced security information and event management that eliminate multi-device clutter. These gateways combine multiple wired and wireless interfaces to connect large volumes of sensors, meters and other smart devices over various WAN Links in a secure manner. RAD’s IoT Solution hosts both networking and non-networking functions on the same device, to reduce the number of devices in the network and increase security and reliability.
Energy, Water and Gas Utilities have been one of the key sectors demonstrating fast and steady adoption of industrial IoT technologies. By making sensor-based meters and other end points "smart’’. Utilities expect to benefit from higher efficiency, easy scalability and improved operations, as well as to minimize risk and downtime.
To achieve the benefits, there is a growing use of cloud-based Big Data, analytics and dashboards which provide critical real-time insights for decision makers. The insights are required to ensure that the utility companies are able to meet fluctuating customer demand at all times.
In utilities companies, thousands of the endpoints need to be connected from remote locations with no network coverage. In other instances, Data from PLCs needs to be aggregated and hauled securely over wired and wireless networks to the control center. In many cases there are issues of connecting existing devices from older generations and making sure that there is communication with the control room/management systems that are using MQTT as a SCADA Protocol. RAD’s Secflow is well within bound to handle all these requirements.
