Case Study: utility organizations achieve secure, low-latency SCADA backhaul with RAD Data Communications SecFlow over Starlink

utility organizations secure SCADA backhaul with RAD Data Communications and 20-30 ms Starlink latency

RAD Data Communications provided a solution for utility organizations facing the challenge of establishing reliable and secure SCADA communications in remote areas with limited or no cellular infrastructure. These organizations needed to connect critical assets like remote terminal units and intelligent electronic devices without compromising on security or suffering from the high latency typical of traditional satellite links.

RAD implemented its SecFlow IoT gateways with integrated Starlink satellite support to provide encrypted SCADA backhaul. This solution from RAD ensured high-speed, low-latency connectivity with advanced security via IPsec encryption and offered robust redundancy through mechanisms like Layer 3 load balancing and packet duplication. The result was a highly reliable and secure network with minimized downtime, capable of supporting mission-critical services for these remote utility sites.
