Consolidating AMI Backhaul & SCADA in One High Capacity Network
Requiring a new communications solution to support and consolidate an AMI upgrade with their SCADA control, Navopache Electric Cooperative engaged
Upgrade your SCADA communications
Growing demand for IP enabled networks, connectivity for isolated assets and more stringent cybersecurity requirements are pushing the evolution of a new breed of SCADA communications networks.
The old 9.6kbps networks of the past cannot cope with today’s data requirements, and recent cyberattacks have highlighted the importance of appropriate security features.
Whether it’s for electric utilities, water and wastewater, irrigation or oil and gas, today’s SCADA networks are designed to maximize the number of assets you can connect and minimize latency so you can maintain near-real time visibility over your territory.
About our SCADA solutions
We now offer multiple SCADA solutions to suit a variety of needs:
- Our award-winning Tornado family of radios – leveraging MIMO, high order modulation and full duplex communications to maximize throughput in narrowband channels, the Tornado radio is the ideal choice for large-scale networks with heavy data demands.
- Our new SCADA platform, Zephyr – a SISO radio with 64 QAM modulation to boost throughput and ultra-low power consumption to allow for deployment at solar/battery-powered sites, the Zephyr platform is designed for remote locations or for networks with lower data througput requirements.
- Our pLTE range – encompassing our freeRAN and goRAN pLTE base stations and our range of Pyxis routers, our compact, lightweight pLTE solution offers a cost-effective alternative for network connectivity at scale.
The result?
Near real time visibility to the edge of the network and, accordingly, a greater return-on-investment on those grid, water, irrigation or pipeline assets.
