Industrial Remote Cellular Connection Management Solution
There is significant market demand for remote monitoring of systems and equipment in the industrial, transportation, and energy sectors. These applications require 24/7 monitoring of equipment located in locations without internet access by operational control centers (OCCs).
The easiest and simplest way to enable this communication is through a cellular modem or router. The device is installed in a remote location and a SIM card from any carrier is inserted. From that moment on, any remote device can access the internet.
However, companies that rely on remote connections to field equipment face critical challenges in ensuring operational continuity. Hiring Mobile Virtual Operators without a dedicated network architecture for this type of application results in extremely low connection SLAs , causing downtime that interrupts operations and requires frequent field visits.
Furthermore, the path to access the equipment for configuration is not trivial, that is, a system connected to the Internet would not be able to find the address of this cellular router on the network without the help of another system capable of bridging the gap between the supervisory system and the remote equipment.
