Following the power outage in the Iberian Peninsula and the multiple communication outages experienced by operators in recent years, the industrial sector is considering increasing its use of the most reliable and robust technology to overcome potential communications and power losses.
The management of basic resources is crucial, as their security and efficiency are extremely necessary for the proper functioning of the infrastructure required.
The importance of energy autonomy also extends to the field of telecommunications. During power outages, many traditional operators’ antennas and repeaters are out of service, leaving large areas without mobile coverage. In contrast, technologies such as Global Synchro Narrow Band Radio demonstrate exceptional resilience. This narrowband communication solution is specifically designed to operate with minimal power consumption and in limited infrastructure conditions, maintaining connectivity even when conventional mobile networks collapse.
The combination of solar energy, long-life batteries, and Global Synchro Narrow Band Radio represents a new standard for sectors where continuity is vital: healthcare, security, remote agriculture, logistics, and smart cities. These types of solutions are a necessity. In a world where technological resilience can mean the difference between operation and collapse, smart decisions point toward energy autonomy and guaranteed connectivity.
Another important factor is the security and protection of systems against external attacks, as in recent years many facilities have seen their proper functioning and data protection compromised by cyberattacks. In this regard, the IEC 62443 series of international standards designed specifically for the security of industrial control and automation systems are required to protect all critical industrial facilities for the control of basic resources.
Since its inception four decades ago, Farell Instruments has focused on development focused on robustness, security, and reliability in its systems. Global Synchro Narrow Band Radio communications and the autonomy of Farell Instruments’ equipment, combined with protection against cyberattacks, ensure the proper functioning of the facilities under the most extreme and challenging conditions.
