SCADA networking - Wireless products - Brief Article

The Pathfinder Lx wireless internetworking controller is a next-generation networking tool for building reliable remote industrial and utility SCADA Ethernet and TCP/IP-based wide-area wireless networks. The controller integrates all the capabilities and features to support the most popular licensed (VHF, UHF, MAS) and unlicensed wireless transceivers. An integrated SCADA-device gateway supports all network-ready Ethernet RTU/PLC or I/O devices. Configuration tools make building, commissioning and maintaining mission-critical, fault-tolerant infrastructure networks quick and simple. The unit's built-in networking engine supports the building of peer-to-peer, point-to-point, multipoint and mesh topologies, including wireless relays and hubs.--Metric System
