Industries

Energy and utilities

Remote monitoring and control for generation, storage and utility sites, usually rural and often with weak signal. We supply industrial 4G and 5G routers, gateways, antennas and SIMs for solar, wind, battery storage, EV charging, water and grid sites.

Why these sites use cellular connectivity

Energy sites are rarely near a good fixed line, and many need two separate connections: one for the operator's monitoring and control, and one for CCTV and security. Industrial cellular routers handle both, with VPNs to keep control traffic private and remote management so a fault does not mean a long drive.

Applications we help with

  • Solar farms: Inverter, SCADA and CCTV connectivity for ground-mount and rooftop solar sites.
  • Battery storage (BESS): Secure links for battery management, grid services and site security at battery energy storage (BESS) sites.
  • EV charging: OCPP back-office and payment connectivity for EV chargers in car parks, on streets and at workplaces.
  • Wind turbines: Turbine monitoring and remote access links for single turbines and wind farms, usually on exposed, remote sites far from any fixed line.
  • Water and wastewater: Telemetry for pumping stations, reservoirs, flow meters and treatment works, many of them in remote places with weak signal.
  • Substations and smart grid: Secure telemetry and remote access for substations, ring main units and grid equipment.
  • Smart metering and telemetry: Low-data links for meters, data loggers and sensors that send small amounts of data.
  • Off-grid and generators: Monitoring for generators, off-grid power systems and Victron installations, where there is no grid and usually no broadband either.

From Teltonika

Teltonika publishes case studies showing its routers in real projects. See: intelligent solar energy management with the RUTC41, connectivity for energy storage systems, Teltonika energy and utilities use cases. Teltonika's documentation wiki covers set-up for every router we sell.

Talk to an M2M and IoT connectivity specialist. Every site is different. Tell us what you need to connect, where it is and how you want to manage it, and our UK team will recommend the router, antenna and SIM, with configuration options if you want it ready to plug in.

Questions

Can one router handle both SCADA and CCTV on an energy site?

It can, with separate networks (VLANs) and firewall rules, but many operators prefer separate routers so a CCTV fault never affects control traffic. We can advise on both approaches.
