understand which sensors are talking to each other
Whether it’s aggregating vast quantities of network traffic that are feeding smart connected roadway and rail, oil and gas midstream
pipelines, or substation resources in the neighborhood, the need for a highly secure and scalable rack-mounted router in industrial and
operational settings has never been greater.
The number of sensors at the industrial network edge continues to grow, as well as the need for visibility and control from both IT and
operations. Many organizations are moving away from having multiple networks for IT and operations and the additional administrative,
time, and security issues they entail, and instead are seeing the value of converging to a standards-based IP network to accomplish their
goals, whether it be monitoring and taking action based on changing road conditions or implementing substation automation.
Introducing the Cisco Catalyst® IR8300 Rugged Series Routers. The first all-in-one industrial-grade, integrated routing, switching, and
security platform.
