WHITEPAPER

Natural gas is vital for a clean future, offering economic, environmental, and energy security benefits. However, it also requires protecting distribution assets from cyber-attacks.

Geopolitical tensions and emerging threats increase security risks in critical sectors like energy, making robust cybersecurity essential. A system's strength depends on its weakest link, emphasizing the need for reliability across all components. This White Paper provides insights into improving security posture and illustrates how CloudLink 5G can safeguard operations.

Cybersecurity

Transport Layer Security (TLS) V1.2 is employed to ensure encrypted data communication, safeguarding information as it travels over networks. This implementation is designed in accordance with the ISASecure® Level 2 guidelines, which provide a framework for achieving high-security standards in industrial automation systems. The use of Secure Boot enhances the integrity of the device by ensuring that only authorized firmware is loaded during the startup process, thereby preventing unauthorized access and attacks. Additionally, encrypted sign-on mechanisms are utilized to further secure user authentication, ensuring that credentials are transmitted securely. Altogether, these features collectively comply with ISA Level 2 guidelines, representing a robust approach to cybersecurity in systems where data integrity and confidentiality are paramount.

Hazardous Location Operation

Class I Division 1 certified modems offer significant value in gas distribution applications by enhancing safety, compliance, reliability, and operational efficiency. These modems are designed for use in environments with flammable gases, minimizing ignition risks and ensuring continuous safe operation.  In addition, Class I, Div 1 modems reduce downtime and maintenance costs due to their durability. They facilitate secure communication for remote monitoring and data transfer, which is essential in modern gas distribution systems. Enhanced security features protect sensitive data from cyber threats, ensuring operational integrity.

 

Low Power Consumption

In remote or field locations where power supply options may be limited, low power modems enable continuous operations without necessitating extensive power infrastructure upgrades. This flexibility allows gas companies to install measurement devices in locations that were previously uneconomical to service. Additionally, these modems facilitate the integration of IoT solutions, allowing for real-time data collection and monitoring, which enhances decision-making and operational efficiency. Overall, low power modems play a vital role in optimizing gas distribution systems, providing a balance of performance, sustainability, and cost-efficiency.

-40°F operation

CloudLink 5G's capability to operate at -40°F is particularly significant for gas measurement and gas pressure monitoring applications, especially during the heating season when such low temperatures are prevalent. In colder months, gas distribution utilities face the crucial task of consistently monitoring gas pressure to prevent it from dropping below a critical threshold. A drop in pressure could lead to disconnection of certain segments of the network, jeopardizing the distribution of gas and potentially causing service interruptions for end-users. Therefore, having a robust and reliable solution like CloudLink 5G that functions effectively in extreme cold conditions ensures that utilities can maintain the necessary pressure levels throughout their networks. This capability not only enhances operational efficiency but also safeguards against disruptions in gas supply during periods of high demand, thereby reinforcing the overall reliability of gas infrastructure in challenging weather conditions.
