Designed to cope with market pressures

Emission reduction, energy efficiency and renewable energy:

environmental pressures are greater than ever. Performance

monitoring is essential to improve efficiency, inform decisions and

minimise downtime. Financial pressures are also growing: equipment

and maintenance costs need to be minimised without impacting

performance

How can your drive for continual improvement and cleaner energy be

supported without negatively impacting costs? By choosing a SCADA

radio solution that provides a low total cost of ownershipwithout

compromising the quality and quantity of the data monitored; that is

simple to install, provides high visibility display information for rapid

decision making, provides simple over-the-air upgrades, control and

diagnostics, has minimal attack and turnaround time to maximise

network efficiency, and is easy to manage and configure via an

intuitive GUI. Maximum performance, minimum overhead.

Designed to managesecurity

Security is now the industrys greatest concern: government bodies are

becoming involved in specifying security performance; remote access

for employees, contractors and vendors is the norm. SCADA systems

need protecting from inherent vulnerabilities and malicious attacks,

ensuring data integrity and validating devices and users

How can you ensure your SCADA networks are safe and secure, now

and into the future? By choosing a SCADA platform that embodies

a defence in depthapproach, with comprehensive layered security

including licensed spectrum bands, AES encryption, authentication,

address filtering, access control, segregated traffic flow and firewall

protection; that is fundamentally well designed, manufactured to

exacting quality standards, and robust enough to perform reliablyover varying distances and conditions.

Designed to meet compliance targets

Governments are becoming increasingly involved in industry

regulation: equipment standards, spectrum refarming, mandatory

SCADA radio channel sizes; and the future direction of standards is still

not known. Addressing these requirements and uncertainties makes

SCADA network design and deployment even more complex

How can you be confident that your SCADA solutions will meet

relevant industry standards, not become obsolete as standards evolve?

By choosing a flexible, future-proof, standards-based product,

designed to be easily upgradeable as your needs and the industrys

regulatory standards evolve; that meets all relevant ETSI technical and

performance standards, supports industry-standard communications

protocols, provides support for serial and IP/Ethernet data, is flexible

in terms of frequency bands and channel sizes, and is upgradable

over-the-air.

Designed to handlecomplexity

SCADA is becoming increasingly complex: growing scale and diversity

of monitored infrastructure, increasing data quantity, the need for real

time operational data, closer integration with IT and business processes,

aging infrastructure, plant refurbishment, new infrastructure, mix of

traditional serial data and new IP-based monitoring devices

How can you benefit from the best that todays modern SCADA

products have to offer, while still supporting legacy requirements

and preparing for future challenges? By choosing a flexible, future-

proof radio platform designed with this very issue in mind; that

supports both serial and IP data, supports a variety of spectrum bands

and channel sizes, integrates with all types of monitoring inputs and

devices, comes in various form factors and multiple architecturalconfigurations, and gives you full control of an easy-to-manage

SCADA network.

Why choose the Aprisa SR?

Future-proof platform: theAprisa SR supports traditional serial

and Ethernet / IP traffic in a singlesmall form-factor box, with no

need for external interfaces or data

converters

Secure: with its defence indepth approach, the Aprisa SR

provides comprehensive, layered

security including AES encryption,

authentication, address filtering and

access control

Flexible: the Aprisa SR integratesinto any network topology, with each

unit configurable as a multipoint

base station, remote station or

repeater

Easy to configure and manage:over-the-air control and diagnostics

are enabled via a simple PC interface,

with low level control from the

central office. SNMP support enables

management via third party network

management systems. Remote units

can be managed and configured

without needing to be powered

down

Reliable and robust: the Aprisa SRrequires no manual component

tuning and maintains its high power

output over a wide temperaturerange

Long-distance operation: withits high transmit power, low

noise receiver and immunity to

interference, the Aprisa SR ensures

reliable, long distance operation in

noisy environments

Who uses the Aprisa SR?

Water and waste utilitiesuse

the Aprisa SR to monitor and

regulate a variety of performance

parameters across multiple sites

in their supply and distribution

network, including water flow,

tank and reservoir levels, pipe

pressures and alarm status.

Electric utilitiesuse the

Aprisa SR throughout their

generation, storage and

distribution networks, including

monitoring current flow, line

voltage, fault indicators, circuit

breaker operation and other

substation equipment.

Oil and gas companiesuse

the Aprisa SR for both onshore

and offshore applications

throughout their pump jacks,oil rigs, refineries and storage

tanks, including monitoring flow,

status, pressure, valve position,

temperature, tank levels, and

alarm and security status.
