On December 2008, the European Union issued a modified Council Directive (No. 2008/114/EC), on the identification and designation of European critical infrastructures and an assessment of the need to improve their protection. Power companies are a major critical infrastructure that is subject to this directive.
RAD provides multiservice aggregation devices, which allow smooth migration of legacy interfaces in the sub-station, such as RTU, SCADA, voice and Teleprotection, to a new packet-based core network. RAD also offers an Industrial Switch/Router with integrated Service Aware Firewall to handle the new 61850 IEDs. Both products enable connectivity to surveillance IP cameras as part of the protection solution provided to prevent and identify threats.
RAD’s HLS solution supports full video management and Command & Control and Emergency Centers. Real-time communication to each site over wireless, mobile and fixed line links enable two-way communications in case of an event and the ability to analyze and react as quickly as possible.
