" We have spent over 12 years
perfecting managed wireless services
so that customers can focus on their
core business strengths without having
to deal with the delays, complexities
and frustrations of typical cellular
deployments, " said Kevin Dalton,
OptConnect's chief experience officer.
" Ours is a complete plug-and-play
solution so that operators and
deployers don't have to manage
security updates, patches and
firmware updates on their own. We
take care of all that for the highest
level of security possible, and all the
customer has to do is plug in the
device and start using it. "
OptConnect provides Connectivityas-a-Service
for M2M and IoT
applications that are simple, secure
and easy to implement. In order to
maintain industry standard protocols
to ensure data integrity and security,
the company offers wireless carrier
private APNs utilizing private IP
space to leverage against hacking
and port scanning, as well as
several secure VPN solutions
including IPsec and OpenVPN
tunnels. The devices are sealed in
tamper-proof cases to deter the
removal of individual carrier SIM
cards, and OptConnect has 24/7
technical support teams that have
the ability to locate and deactivate
devices if necessary within minutes
of notifying the support center.
To address security concerns at
unattended or remote locations, Dalton
recommends encrypting data before
sending it over any wireless connection.
" In the event that unauthorized access
is gained, OptConnect has data usage
triggers that will set off internal
protocols within the system to contact
customers, " he said. " Our technical
teams will then investigate the high
data usage. "
With the country in an era of
economic uncertainty, one thing is for
sure: Criminals are constantly looking
for ways to enrich themselves at the
expense of others. Thanks to
companies like Panoptyc, Lock
America, Camlock Systems and
OptConnect, owners and operators
can stay one step ahead in securing
and protecting their assets. ■
