Monitoring That's Easy on I.T.
Monitoring networks often include thousands of devices and must maintain robust security as part of the facility infrastructure. Packet Power’s Smart Power Cables simplify this process by using a self-forming, self-managing wireless network that minimizes I.T. involvement. These cables enhance security by isolating monitoring devices from primary data networks, leveraging a dedicated, highly secure, purpose-built monitoring network for reliable and protected operations.
