Regesta Smart PLC Communications Gateway
Introduction
The Regesta Smart PLC router family brings today's most advanced corporate IP network protocols to the world of smart grids and telemetry. Specially designed to interconnect IP-based networks with PLC technology. It is ideal for the deployment of centralized smart meter communications. It takes full advantage of Teldat's advanced internetworking software (CIT) to provide the latest in communications security with encryption, authentication management and access control. The combination of advanced networking protocols and management tools makes it ideal for large-scale deployments.
Competitive Advantages
Multiple access technologies (1 LTE, Ethernet, SFP) employed with real-time backup mechanisms, SNMP trap notifications and alerts.
Adaptable hardware design for unattended installations, with extended temperature range (-25 to 70 °C) and electrical and electromagnetic immunity.
Enables direct communication with PLC-based smart meters. Delivers PLC base node and advanced networking communications in a single device.
The latest IP network technology for smart grid communications bringing security, quality and ease of use to large-scale multiservice deployments.
Description
The Regesta Smart PLC are industrial-grade routers that provide secure and reliable IP broadband connectivity to SCADA telemetry and telecontrol networks in smart grid deployment. By configuring the built-in PLC communications interface as base node, you can communicate with smart meters without having to install any additional equipment like PLC concentrators.
The router guarantees optimal and maximum security of communications between multiple IP services. In addition, by using 2G/3G/LTE and Ethernet interfaces concurrently, the router provides maximun reliability of communications, which is guaranteed thanks to the full support of the management, monitoring and backup functionalities. The Regesta Smart PLC family incorporates state-of-the-art security technologies in communications with the most complete collection of VPN protocols and firewall techniques.
