SCADA communications have in recent years shifted away from serial connections and leased lines and towards IP enabled wireless technologies. Consequently, the old 9.6kbps SCADA networks of the past cannot cope with the data requirements of today’s utilities. An explosion of devices, greater distribution automation and a requirement for near real-time visibility have therefore led to a new breed of SCADA communications.
From flow measurement and distribution automation through to monitoring pipelines, substations and controllers, Ubiik Mimomax’s SCADA solution centers around our award-winning Tornado radio. Utilizing MIMO and full duplex provides the extra data capacity allowing our customers to run more applications across one SCADA radio network.
Near real time visibility to the edge of the network and, accordingly, a greater return-on-investment on those grid or pipeline assets.
Read how utilities such as Great River Energy deploy Ubiik Mimomax SCADA networks to ensure near real-time visibility over their operations.
The key benefit of using this [Mimomax] solution is essentially that more data can be passed through a small channel. The use of MIMO technology combined with high order modulation means we will be able to transmit an impressive amount of data inside of a 50kHz channel.
“One of our gas utility customers estimates they only utilize a small percentage of the available capacity on their Ubiik Mimomax network. As a result, the utility is looking at adding features which will enable a more dynamic approach to their business operations.”
