Grid Solutions iNET-II Secure IP/Ethernet LAN Extension | Ethernet and Serial The MDS iNET-II is an industrial wireless solution that provides long distance, unlicensed communications, up to 1 Mbps, allowing users to interface both Ethernet and serial controllers such as PLCs, RTUs and SCADA systems. The MDS iNET-II offers the right balance of speed and range to enable a wide variety of applications that require higher data capability than typical SCADA communication systems can provide. It combines the higher speed of Digital Transmission Systems (DTS) with the robustness of Frequency Hopping technology. Industrially Hardened • Operation in extreme temperatures from –30oC to 60oC • CSA-approved for class I, Div. 2 groups • IEEE-1613* approval for operation in electric substation environments The MDS iNET-II combines the interfaces, functionality and security features that are standard across the Information Technology (IT) industry with a hardened radio platform necessary for the harsh environment of mission-critical applications in SCADA applications. Application Flexibility • Megabit speed accommodates multiple services on one infrastructure • Provides wireless megabit-speed connectivity to Ethernet devices • Industry standard software compatibility in industrial grade hardware platform • Unlicensed long range communication of IP/Ethernet and serial data • Long range wireless communication, up to 20 miles • Multiple layers of cyber-security, including AES 128-bit encryption, 802.1x device authentication and frequency hopping • IP/Ethernet and serial functions can operate simultaneously on the same network • Supports multiple industry-standard protocols including Modbus TCP, DF1 and IEC 61850 • Reduces integration, configuration, and support costs found with multi-box solutions Application Specific Wireless Solution Energy • Remote control of EID at distribution substations • Condition monitoring for pole-top circuit breakers and capacitor banks Reliable & Scalable • Unlicensed spread spectrum technology • Point-to-Multipoint, 2-way communication • High receive sensitivity for noisy environments and long distances • Handles multiple industry protocols including Modbus, Modbus TCP, and DF1 Oil & Gas • Remote monitoring of pipeline flow and status signals • Monitor and transmit wellhead pressure and tank levels collected by RTUs Water & Wastewater • Monitor lift stations across multiple sites from control room • Slow scan video surveillance of reservoirs Heavy Industrial • Activation of perimeter gates based on detection of vehicle • Monitor and control remote pumps and compressors Secure • 802.1x centralized authentication prevents unauthorized access • Built-in AES 128-bit encryption • Dynamic key rotation • VLAN traffic segregation • Password protected access and lockdown * Requires an external DC to DC c
