Utilities

Events of the last few years have demonstrated the power industry's need to provide plentiful, reliable electric power under increasingly demanding conditions. Power utilities are increasingly turning to networking solutions using Industrial Ethernet equipment because of its high reliability and emphasis on standards, which translates into lower costs and more flexibility than earlier proprietary networking strategies.

Substations, U-Telcos, Power plants, water treatment plants, and utilities are all beginning to embrace Ethernet as their preferred protocol for control and IT systems. GarrettCom industrial Ethernet is cost effective and provides the best solution for every utility and power line communications applications with a set of feature rich specifications including built-in fibre for high EMI noise immunity, 110/125VDC power, extended temperature operation and industry specific certifications including IEC61850.
