In recent years there has been a huge drive in the direction of the Internet of Things, in effect the benefits that can be achieved through proactive management and information gathering of data from your assets.
At Onwave we understand that not all assets and devices can be connected using conventional means due to location and proximity to suitable backhaul connectivity.
Industrial factories, Smart Buildings and infrastructure such as pipelines and critical installations are now equipped with digital controllers. Sensors often come built with short range connectivity (XBee, LoRa, ZigBee GPRS) but very often these have very limited built-in networking capacity.
As a result, collecting data from these sites reliably to enable remote assessment and analysis can prove difficult, Network failure, will disconnect these critical assets from control centres and can cause unnecessary problems.
At Onwave we understand how Industrial Telemetry requires highly dependable network connectivity, this is why we deploy solutions based on multi-WAN technology to ensure you get the reliability and flexibility you need.
Our multi-WAN capacity allows you to deploy redundant connections to ensure network continuity, this can all be delivered privately over our MPLS Network. This means applications such as sensor data logging, remote diagnostics, and controller automation, can all be done with absolute confidence.
By working with you to configure the network, we give you control and flexibility on your network traffic routing, we can overlay your security, specify WAN links for transmitting data to the RTU while dedicating another WAN link for PLC processes, with Onwave optimizing overall network flow will become headache-free.
If you are still struggling to understand how the IoT may impact your business why not take a look at some of the below links.
We have selected these links as we believe that they provide a great insight into the application of IoT technologies across all sectors.
