Ethernet in the Utility Market
In recent years the utility market has been moving away from serial and towards Ethernet as its communication network of choice. Using Ethernet, interoperability between various vendors is much easier, as the lower levels of Ethernet call for standards of how data packets are constructed and sent across the network. Different applications will often still […]
Wireless Ethernet Communications
In the industrial, utility and ITS industries, there has recently been a migration towards using Ethernet as the network of choice. As a world standard, Ethernet is the logical choice as more and more manufacturers start to develop hardware with Ethernet interfaces. With the mechanisms inherent in Ethernet, a network can be installed and configured […]
The Importance of Planning, Configuration and Maintenance on Ethernet Networks
In recent years Ethernet technology has grown in leaps and bounds, and is now the networking technology of choice for running automation networks in Industrial, Utility, Military and ITS environments. However, as the technology progresses and becomes more complex, so does network planning, configuration and maintenance need to improve to meet that complexity. Gone are […]
Physical Mediums for Ethernet Communications in the Utility and Industrial Environment
In recent years, utility and industrial sites have been moving over to Ethernet networks to run the automation across the site, due to the flexible, open standards created within Ethernet. Ethernet allows different vendors to all communicate using a common standard, such as the way a connection between devices is created or the way the […]
RuggedSolutions for Smart Grid Automation
Due to how diverse Ethernet has proved to be over the years the concept of the Smart Grid was created. This involves remote control and monitoring of the electrical grid from a central position such as the control centre, to improve reliability, resilience, flexibility and efficiency of the electrical grid. Electrical grids nationwide can now […]
Industrial and Utility Ethernet Training 101
Ethernet plays an integral and critical role in modern industrial and utility automation, as many industrial and utility sites are in the process (Or have completed the process) of upgrading to Ethernet networks. However, as Ethernet consists of many different features and functionality, it is a lot more complex than older legacy communications technology. Often […]
Wireless Products Offered by H3iSquared
With plants, substations and other Industrial, Utility, Military and ITS sites gradually making the move to Ethernet communications, it is sometimes unfeasible to lay out new cabling in order to link up a remote site to the main network. In these cases wireless links are the way to go. H3iSquared offers a range of Industrial […]

Industrial Ethernet Communication in Industrial Automation Plants
Industrial Ethernet has very rapidly become the reliable technology for Automation Communication within production plants, utility substations and ITS. Some of the reason for this rapid change is based on flexibility, expandability, reliability, resilience, open world standard protocols, ability to adopt legacy protocols, ease of troubleshooting and maintenance. When most plants started with Ethernet, correct […]
Electrical Protection & Safety
Electrical Protection and Safety incorporates many different applications and methods. In latest technology, protection schemes are been built to make use of an Ethernet Network with transporting what is known as “goose” packets. These are the type of packets that travel across the Ethernet network and have the messaging information relevant to the Protection data. […]
