Introducing Cisco Rail CBTC and Safety Solution

This is the last episode of this CBTC blog series. In the last three posts, I have shared some key trends and challenges metro operators are facing, the adoption of CBTC and its associated benefits and implementation challenges, as well as Cisco’s approach to delivering a simplified, secured, and resilient onboard and trackside network. For this post, let’s reveal the complete Cisco Rail CBTC and Safety Solution. Standard based, redundant, and modular architecture A Data…

Using SD-WAN for securing distributed renewable energy

Renewable energy is a rapidly growing segment of the energy industry. Technologies such as wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and energy storage are now considered mainstream. However, all of these sites require secure connectivity to enable important remote monitoring and control. Renewable energy companies must connect an array of renewable energy assets spread across wide geographic areas. Many renewable asset operators also use public and private cloud-based applications, including SCADA. They need a network architecture that…

Leveraging a digital twin with machine learning to revitalize bridges

As you drive across a bridge you might think of the impact it’s having on your commute, but have you ever considered the impact you’re having on the bridge itself? Until recently, this impact was largely left to projections based on historical engineering practices, rather than real-time data. In this blog, we will explore how Thomas Braml, Professor of Civil Engineering and the team at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich have used Cisco technology…

The Power of LTE 450 for Critical Infrastructure

In case of disasters, a reliable communication network is critical. The emergency centers need to be able to exchange information to coordinate their response in the field. Service providers need to keep their network live. Power utilities need to be able to keep the electric grid up and running. In Europe, the communication networks used to control components of the power grid and all other critical infrastructure, are required to remain operational for at least…

SD WAN solutions for utility distribution automation

Networks are expanding outside traditional office buildings and into industrial fixed and mobile use cases. This results in more devices being connected to the Internet and data centers as well as increased security exposure. IoT has moved traditional networking far beyond the carpeted spaces and into industries like Fleets, Oil & Gas, Energy & Water Utilities, Remote Condition Monitoring and Control — basically anything that can establish a wide area connection. Moreover, these industrial networks…
