Contents 6 When IIoT Meets Reality: Key Considerations For Implementing IIoT Strategies There have been numerous articles written about the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and the benefits it can offer industrial organizations such as manufacturers and resource production facilities. Very little, however, has been written about the implementation realities of effectively assembling assorted IIoT technologies and addressing various decision points throughout the process. FEATURES 8 10 12 14 On Demand Connectivity: Simplifying the Industrial Internet of Things Smart industrial solutions are an important growth sector for Mobile Network Operators who like IIoT solutions for their economical use of bandwidth and low churn rates. On Demand Connectivity solutions and services hold a key to simplifying the complexities of M2M design and development. Remote Control: How Distributed Mobile Networks are Changing Remote Communications When considering what type of communications infrastructure to deploy in a remote communications scenario the options have been limited and expensive. Satellite-based solutions have generally been the norm combined with a centrally deployed core network architecture. Fortunately, there is now a new way to tackle these issues. Physically Securing Utility Substations: Key Questions to Ask To help utilities reach their substation security and resiliency goals, operation managers are deploying smarter physical defenses that work hand-in-hand with a reliable and secure communications network, shoring up substation defenses, decreasing reaction times and getting back online faster. Security Appliances with Integrated Switch Even More Secure and More Cost Effective Optimizing cybersecurity is a very important topic in industrial automation today, but many businesses do not have a concrete idea about the types of dangers against which they must defend themselves. 16 CHP Installations in Remote Locations 18 Balancing the Load Paralleling Generators in Prime Power Applications In remote locations, where the utility is either not available or not preferred, CHP systems provide significant advantages. Under these conditions, generator sets run in "Island Operation" as the only source of power, working in solation from the utility.
