What is SCADA? (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)
It is how utilities gain visibility, and then control, of their network assets. From a
visibility / monitoring perspective:
Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) are located at utility assets in the field, connected
to sensors, alarms, etc.
A communications mechanism connects them to the network operations centre.
A software program (HMI: human machine interface) to display the data, visible
to the network management staff.
The RTUs are connected to devices that can „act‟: switches, reclosers, pumps
etc.
Control signals are sent from the network operations centre to the RTU which
acts upon them to control the devices.

Why monitoring and control?
Electricity regulators financially reward electricity networks that improve their
customer reliability by putting in smarter control systems.
Improved asset use, management and protection means improved performance:
better network reliability through increased efficiency and security:
Real time or on demand asset monitoring
Early identification and isolation of faults
Preventative maintenance to extend asset life
Decrease in quantity and duration of faults and outages
Rapid response to weather events or malicious attacks
Reduce unscheduled site visits and maintenance costs
Performance improvement is delivered, brought about by improved
information from SCADA system operation.

Utilities have identified the distribution grid as a key area for maximum
return, and the issue is reaching corporate presentations and reports:

What does the product do for electricity?
In combination with asset specific sensors and automation equipment, enables
centralised remote asset management and life optimisation while reducing
manpower requirements.
Transformers are essential components of electricity transmission
and distributions systems and are their most valuable individual
assets – early warning saves money
Automation equipment (reclosers, load break switches, and fault
indicators) throughout the network are essential devices for providing
maximum continuity of supply
The product monitors the operation of this equipment sending
reports, both routine and exceptions, to a control centers –
commands may also be returned to certain field equipment for action.

When and where is monitoring and control being implemented?
At roll out of new infrastructure or replacement of end-of-life
infrastructure, at which point monitoring / control capability is often
built in as standard
Adding monitoring / control to existing
assets that have not been monitored to date

Why use point-to-multipoint radio for monitoring and control?
Monitoringand control must be on
demand or in real time
Eliminating dependence on a third Radio
party to provide and maintain
communications is a requirement Radio
Ensuring network security is essential
Flexibilityof communications
infrastructure is essential Radio
Reducing OPEX and minimizing whole
life cost are key business drivers

How do we enable smarter networks?
Considerations Solution
Enabling Move to IP Industry‟s best security
SECURITY: Attacks changing Defence in depth
Threats maturing Not just encryption
Enabling Whole life cost Highly configurable
EFFICIENCY: 20+ year cycles Easy to manage
Legacy equipment Advanced routing
A solution that makes
complete business
Enabling the Reduce faults Serial and IP and financial sense
FUTURE: Reduce maintenance Unified comms network in the long term as
Identify faults earlier Unbeatable reliability networks evolve

A comprehensive approach to security
Threat Aprisa SR protection
Passive Eavesdropping AES-256 encryption ensures over the air data confidentiality
Proprietary wireless framing, FEC, interleaving and compression further modify over the
air data
Active Denial-of-Service Licensed radio spectrum and robust modulation protect against interference - either
intentional or unintentional
High performance direct conversion receiver further protects against interference
Segregated traffic flow enables node isolation, with VLAN and Layer 3 subnets and
protects against flooding
Active man-in-the-middle CCM-based data authentication protects data integrity (NIST special publication 800-38C)
Address filtering protects against masquerading
Management attack Secured management interface protects configuration
SNMPv3 encrypts radio network management data over the wired Ethernet interface

Standards-based, backwards compatible, future-proof
Investment in equipment needs to support the total life cost
needed when forming budgets.
Both backwards compatible and future-proof
Supporting both legacy Serial RTUs and newer Ethernet
enabled IEDs, protecting the legacy investment through
transition over time to IP-based devices
Integrates seamlessly into existing network topologies, and is
highly configurable to allow the network to evolve along with
increasing monitoring and control requirements
Standards-based and supporting all relevant protocols, for
long-term incorporation into SCADA networks
Plan for the future, protect the past. The best of both
worlds.
