The complete guide to selecting the Industrial IoT gateway that is right for your project size, deployment strategy and geographic spread.

And so it begins...

Securing industrial control systems with Fortinet at level 0 and 1 using RAD’s built-in Edge Computing and ruggedized gateways. 

SONET/SDH is an aging technology and operational networks still based on it then will need to transition to a packet switched network. In this paper, critical infrastructure network operators debating between IP, MPLS and Carrier Ethernet will find an updated comparison to help them understand the advantages and disadvantages of each. 

The findings presented in this report are based on detailed surveys among 21 major U.S. electric utilities representing 1,836 transmission and major distribution substations. They provide a clear indication on the current trends and operational technology (OT) network priorities of power utility operators.

Power utility networks are becoming smarter, automated and more connected, as they gradually transform into Smart Grids. Looking forward, there are several key trends that drive the design of tomorrow’s utility networks – most of which are closely connected with the rise of IoT (Internet of Things) – and which need to be accommodated by adequate communication solutions:

The security of critical networks is at the center of attention of industry and government regulators alike. Check Point and RAD offer a joint end-to-end cyber security solution that protects any utility operational technology (OT) network by eliminating RTU and SCADA equipment vulnerabilities, as well as defends against cyber-attacks on the network’s control and data planes.

This white paper reviews the various aspects affecting power utilities’ transmission system operators and the specific challenges that need to be addressed with regard to Smart Grids and cyber security.

What you will learn:

With increasing numbers of service providers opting to use license-exempt radio frequency (RF) bands, the need to understand methods for overcoming the challenge of interference is critical. This white paper addresses the issue of interference in license-exempt bands and provides a number of approaches for its control and mitigation.

This document describes the important significance of building an air traffic control core service access platform supporting network operations, maintenance and management, and summarizes the features of an air traffic control core service access platform using RAD’s Megaplex (MP) series ofproducts to support air traffic control service transmission, and analyzes its deployment in air traffic control applications overseas.

Teleprotection signals from protective relays are among the most critical data transmitted across utility networks, as they help manage the power grid load, as well as to protect equipment within the power network from severe damages resulting from faulty HV lines.
