Critical processes and essential services
Electric utilities depend on our industrial solutions to securely, reliably, and cost-effectively
communicate to and control their vital generation, transmission and distribution assets.
Our MDS wireless devices and networking multiplexers reduce infrastructure costs, provide
the highest levels of security, and are used for Smart Grid and Distribution Automation
communication infrastructures including AMI, collection point data aggregation, load
balancing, pole-top switching, and Recloser control.

Solutions for the Smart Grid
Fast Wireless Transfer Trip
Designed for electric utilities, the DGT Distributed Generation
Trip Control enables the fast and secure disconnect of
renewable energy generators from the electrical power grid,
which protects both citizens and critical assets.
The most recognized Oil & Gas companies in the world trust our wireless communications
and multiplexing solutions to monitor and control vital assets and processes for the
production and pipeline transmission of oil and gas resources. Our communications
products allow customers to respond to system demands, and quickly deal with
emergency situations.

Improving Productivity, Contributing to Safety
Remote Gas Pipeline Monitoring
Our low power devices allow remote control and monitoring
of compressor stations and pipelines. Flow measurement
and device data is wirelessly transmitted from PLCs and
RTUs located along pipelines. A single MDS wireless hub
can communicate to hundreds of different remote pipeline
locations. By using multiple hubs, pipeline customers transmit
data from thousands of locations to a central control station.
Ultra-Low Power Tank Level Monitoring
We provide a full range of wireless and multiplexing solutions for Water and Wastewater
applications including monitoring vital water flow, video surveillance, and sending control
commands to valves, pumps and motors. Customers rely on our industrial hardened
wireless devices to withstand their harsh process environments.
Water & Wastewater
Wide Area Asset & Security Monitoring
The MDS WiYZ data acquisition solution monitors dozens
of remote water treatment tank levels. The system uses
ultra-low power mesh radios that can operate on internal
power for up to 5 years. Tank level data is collected at the
wireless gateway and transmitted to a remote data center
using private wireless infrastructure and a public carrier.
