Climate Change
- Extreme weather
- Higher temperatures
- Increased rainfall
= Increased risk to services, property and lives
Utility companies (critical infrastructure) must ensure a reliable recurring service
- Secure, Reliable Voice and Data Communications
- Energy supplies for the grid
- First responder protecting the public
“Resilient DMR solutions are essential for 1st world living we expect in the 21st century.”
MAINTAINING SOCIAL ORDER
SLIDE 4
BUSINESS CHALLENGES
- Social demands and expectations
- Operational efficiency
- Distributed generation – Smart Grid
- Power quality / stability
- Minimize outage durations
- Proactive vs Reactive
- Regulation / fines
SLIDE 5
CRITICAL SERVICES
SCADA Gathers Data, Delivers Control To & From Remote Telemetry Units (RTU’s) Connected To Critical Systems
- Electric Utilities – Safety, regulatory compliance,
asset protection monitoring and control.
- Water Utilities – Safety, water level monitoring,
pressure monitoring, leak detection, asset monitoring, valve control
- Oil and Gas – Safety, exploration and automated
“unmanned production”.
- Mining – Safety, Environmental sensors, remote
machine control, automated resource management
- Transportation – Safety, remote assets, monitor. Line
Switching, remote braking, speed/fuel management

COST OF POOR RELIABILITY
Unreliable Communications
- = Slower outage restoration
- = Operational uncertainty
- = Safety risk
Cost of Poor Reliability
- Penalties
- Reputation impact
- Inefficient workforce
Total Fines & Redress £71.9M in 2015 £51.9M in 2016

GOALS
- Ensure Utilities have efficient, resilient &
time reactive, safe network management
- Stay competitive in a competitive market
- Provide customers with quality products &
services

A multi bearer communications hub extending communications at edge of range
- Network of Networks hub
- Linux based processing and router (Ethernet for MDT’s)
- Multiple bearers – transmit & receive simultaneously
- Apps, Voice recoding, Integrated Work Flow, SIP (VoIP) +++
- API’s / SDK’s – develop Apps to meet your requirements.
