Products

Viola provides a range of ready-to-use products that provide secure and reliable wireless connectivity to a wide range of industrial customers. The products are deployed by companies in the fields of electrical distribution, oil and gas, telecommunications, water management, security, and traffic and weather monitoring stations.

Some of the key features for our products are:

  • Data security in wireless transmission through internal firewalls and encryption
  • Viola Patrol – Application for remote devices monitoring
  • Two-way / bidirectional connectivity though VPN
  • Reliable communication through internal watchdog features
  • Complete end-to-end solutions between a central point and field devices
  • Compatible with various protocols including IEC 101, IEC 103, IEC 104, DNP 3.0 and Modbus
  • For low operational costs, protocol conversion is undertaken from IEC 101 to IEC 104, or from Modbus to IEC 104
  • No installation charges, since the products use a local public network such as GPRS / EDGE / 3G
  • Can use ordinary SIM cards provided by the local operator
  • Fixed IP addresses are provided for remote devices using Viola's own M2M Gateway
  • Robust, industrial-grade design, engineered for harsh and demanding environments

Arctic EDGE Gateway

Industrial-grade serial-to-cellular and Ethernet-to-cellular gateway integrating serial and Ethernet devices to management systems using EDGE and GPRS networks.

Arctic Modbus Gateway

Arctic Modbus Gateway effectively integrates serial Modbus devices to IP based management systems via Ethernet, GPRS and EDGE. This is achieved by protocol conversion from Modbus serial protocols to Modbus TCP protocol and vice versa.

Arctic Railway Gateway

Arctic Railway connects various remote railway devices using the GSM-R network. Critical data is transferred from remote locations reliably and securely.

Arctic 3G Gateway

Arctic 3G Gateway support HSPA in 3G networks. When this is combined with the possibility for multiple field devices connectivity by serial and Ethernet ports, Arctic 3G Gateway is the ideal solution for monitoring and controlling of field devices when high data bandwidth is required.

Arctic LTE Gateway

Arctic LTE Gateway supports LTE technology in the fourth generation (4G) mobile networks providing high data speed. When this is combined with the possibility for multiple field devices connectivity by serial and LAN ports, Arctic LTE is an ideal solution for current and future applications.

Smart Grid devices 

Arctic AMR for meter communication

The Arctic AMR is a solution-based device for automatic energy meter reading, optimized to the highest degree. It allows remote energy meters to be viewed as part of a company’s internal network.

Arctic IEC-104 Gateway

With Arctic IEC-104 Gateway conventional IEC-101 devices can be attached to a modern TCP/IP based IEC-104 control system using cellular networks (GPRS/EDGE). This is possible because of the protocol conversion from IEC-101 to IEC-104 (and vice versa) made by Arctic IEC-104 Gateway.

Arctic RTU

Arctic RTU provides wireless monitoring and control of field devices via GPRS/EDGE from central control systems like SCADA. Several interfaces are available for field device connectivity: Digital inputs and outputs, analog inputs, two serial and Ethernet ports. When these interfaces are supported with industrial protocols, IEC-104 or ModbusTCP, Arctic RTU is capable for seamless integration of different kind of field devices to central control system.

Arctic Control

Arctic Control enables cost-optimized control and monitoring of medium voltage network assets such as disconnectors, load break switches and ring main units in energy distribution networks. It provides always-on wireless connectivity together with the intelligence needed for disconnector control and monitoring, and also with supporting features such as battery charging and condition monitoring.

Arctic Substation Gateway

Arctic Substation Gateway is an industrial grade wireless gateway utilizing the high speed 3G networks (HSPA) with quad band frequency support. When this is combined with the possibility for multiple field devices connectivity by Serial and Ethernet ports together with IEC-101 to IEC-104 protocol conversion, Arctic Substation Gateway is the ideal solution for monitoring and controlling of devices at substation when high data bandwidth and low latency is required.
