Delivering a smart grid ROI
Smart grid deployment is an expensive process. However, many experts believe the technology's benefits will create a substantial return on investment for utility providers. Protecting that ROI depends on being able to deploy smart grid systems as efficiently as possible. Serial to Ethernet terminal servers are vital in this area, as they provide vital interoperability in a wide range of settings, including substations.

Perle offers a range of cost effective serial-to-Ethernet converters to help meet NERC-CIP compliance for the protection of critical cyberassets in substations. The IOLAN SDS HV/LDC Terminal Server is designed to meet harsh environments associated with Power Substations with attributes such as support for substation AC and DC voltage ranges, extended operating temperatures and meeting emission, immunity and safety approvals associated with substation IT equipment.
