The IEC 60870 protocol family is a vendor-independent communication standard for electricity industry. With Arctic IEC-104 Gateway conventional IEC-101 devices can be attached to a modern TCP/IP based IEC-104 control system. This is possible because of the protocol conversion from IEC-101 to IEC-104 (and vice versa) made by Arctic IEC-104 Gateway.
Ethernet, GPRS and EDGE network interfaces provide a seamless communication solution for most of the applications. Secure (Firewall, VPN) and two-way GPRS/EDGE communication (static IP addresses) is provided with Viola M2M Gateway or with mobile operator private APN service.
Finally the complete solution for upgrading the communication system to take advantage of the efficient and low-cost IEC-104 approach!
