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…

Digitizing the Physical World: Insights from Cisco Live Melbourne and the Industrial IoT Industry Summit

A few weeks ago, I attended Cisco Live Melbourne, and it was truly a pleasure to meet and connect with leaders, gain knowledge from customers, and hear speakers from various sectors. I had the wonderful opportunity to speak in an Innovation Talk session alongside one of our very own Industrial IoT (IIoT) customers, Joseph Ozdemir from Mineral Resources Limited. Mineral Resources is focused on innovation in four growth pillars – lithium, iron ore, energy, and…

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…

Secure your critical roadways infrastructure as you digitize and resolve congestion

As a Londoner, it was slightly bitter-sweet to see London highlighted in the opening line of the INRIX Global Traffic Scorecard for 2022. Particularly as it is listed as the most congested city in the world. However, London isn’t alone, and congestion is clearly a global issue. Chicago and Paris are a close second and third on the list, with drivers in each city annually facing more than 130 lost hours in traffic due to…

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…
