Business Challenge

With the ever-increasing presence of household appliances in our daily lives, the demand for reliable and pure electricity has grown significantly. Electricity companies are faced with the challenge of delivering high-quality power to homes and businesses, often necessitating the use of advanced equipment such as switchgear. These critical components play a vital role in ensuring the continuous operation of the electricity network, but the challenge lies in effectively connecting and organizing these machines.

Technical Requirements:

  • A rugged, industrial-grade router is needed for installation in Distribution Automation Plants.
  • The routers must undergo rigorous testing to ensure trustworthiness and reliability, with a high EMC level and the capability to prevent electric shock hazards.
  • The router should offer a variety of interfaces, including RS232, RS485, and Ethernet Ports, to facilitate seamless connectivity for all equipment within the Electric Plants.
  • 3G HSPA+ routers are required to establish and maintain a seamless connection between the Electrical Plants and the Monitoring Center, ensuring no link failures.
