Industrial Communications
Design & Configuration
Having designed SCADA platforms with over 300 sites, ACE understands the exact requirements and risks in building wide-area networks that cover large geographic areas with numerous remote locations. We deliver real-time data acquisition with optimum security, resilience, and reliability.
Wide-area & local plant network design
We have been consistently integrating over 200 sites to our client's SCADA servers and telemetry networks since 2014. We integrate to your preferred network and ensure real-time data acquisition, optimum security, resilience, redundancy, and reliability.
ACE boasts a particular speciality in local communication networks and wide-area distributed SCADA network design. We are working at the forefront of this space to future-proof your assets and lay the foundation for infrastructure technology such as Smart City and predictive maintenance.
