Case Study: American Utility Company achieves reliable, secure SCADA connectivity with Peplink MAX Routers

SCADA System Stays Connected with Peplink’s MAX Routers

American Utility Company needed a new, reliable connectivity setup to support its SCADA applications across distributed sites. The company wanted wide coverage, 24/7 reliability, strong security for traffic running over a third-party network, and a solution that could keep infrastructure costs low. Peplink, using its MAX series routers, was chosen to help meet these requirements.

Peplink deployed MAX routers at each location, with centralized configuration and monitoring through InControl 2, plus built-in 256-bit AES VPN encryption and dual-boot firmware support. Some MAX models also enabled SpeedFusion Hot Failover and could use cellular, Ethernet, and Wi‑Fi as WAN for maximum resilience. The result was a reliable, scalable, and secure SCADA connectivity network with significant uptime improvements and minimal device and labor costs.
