Versatile networking via remote networks

Remote networks are public or private communication infrastructures for covering wide areas or long distances, for example mobile radio or fixed telephone networks. The extensive Siemens remote networks portfolio offers connection to both conventional and IP-based infrastructures.

Remote communication via private and public networks continually results in new opportunities in both the public and industrial communication environments due to increasing bandwidths, higher availability and decreasing costs.

The new SCALANCE M product range provides the right network component for every application. SCALANCE M can be used universally in telecontrol, teleservice, and any other application for industrial remote communication. The connection to remote networks is made via public communications infrastructures such as DSL and mobile radio. The components are optimized for industrial use and integrated into the TIA environment. Thanks to the integrated encryption and access protection mechanisms, the devices make a decisive contribution to the security of data communications. Groundbreaking security concepts (firewall, VPN) for the use of public and, in some cases, open infrastructures, such as the internet, protect the communications systems against unauthorized access from outside. To achieve a high level of process availability, the transmission networks can be designed as a redundant configuration.

Even for private dedicated lines or dial-up networks, Siemens offers the right solution!

In order to achieve extensive networks, the connection via remote networks can be supplemented with further network components from the SIMATIC NET product portfolio – for example, with the fiber-optic cable versions of the SCALANCE X Industrial Ethernet switches or the SCALANCE W industrial wireless LAN components.

Security is paramount when constructing remote networks. Together with other Security Integrated components such as the SCALANCE S Industrial Security Appliances, remote access to IP-based networks can be protected with firewalls and VPN tunnels to guard against risks.
