Case Study: Distributed Solar Power Provider in Africa achieves secure device interoperability and affordable pre‑paid solar delivery with Cohesive Networks

Distributed Solar Power Provider in Africa

Solar Power Service Provider, a distributed solar power provider operating across Africa, needed a secure, interoperable communications link to connect many different field devices and site configurations. The variety of hardware and settings created an interoperability challenge that threatened the rollout of prepaid solar services, so the company turned to Cohesive Networks and its VNS3 solution for a secure networking approach.

Cohesive Networks deployed VNS3 to establish secure connections across the wide range of devices in the provider’s distributed network, resolving interoperability issues and enabling reliable data ingestion and edge connectivity. As a result, the Solar Power Service Provider successfully connected disparate power sites and delivered prepaid solar energy to the mass market in Africa at an incredibly affordable price.
