Connect, Protect, and Optimize Utility Operations
Streamline workflows and enhance safety with AirLink Routers
Utilities rely on public and private cellular networks to keep power grids, gas lines, and water systems running 24 / 7 / 365. With the right connectivity in place, utilities can operate more efficiently and respond to issues faster, safer, and with greater confidence.
Utility teams need reliable information at the right time, whether during daily operations or emergency events. Rugged, always-on connectivity allows dispatch to track vehicles, monitor status, and coordinate resources efficiently, ensuring service and safety are maintained. In the field, uninterrupted communication enables crews to report conditions, receive work orders, and respond quickly without delay. Secure connectivity brings it all together to ensure sensitive data and critical communications remain protected across fixed and mobile assets.
NEWCOM, an authorized partner of Semtech, works with Utility Organizations to modernize their infrastructure with secure, high-availability wireless connectivity. Our engineering team designs and deploys solutions that connect fixed sites and mobile fleets. With robust installation options and expert services, we ensure every deployment is optimized for reliability, visibility, and operational resilience.
”With the increasing cyberattacks on utilities, Eversource needed to ensure that all these communications could be protected via a virtual private network (VPN). The ACM sets up the VPN when the cellular connection is established, and automatically moves that encrypted tunnel to the new cellular network as required."
