Enterprise Automation work with Sweetwater Authority during a phased 3-year project to modernize the SCADA and networking infrastructure for their water distribution system, extending its life and performance for the next 20+ years.
Upgrades of significance include:
- High speed (380 MBPS) fault tolerant Microwave ring wide area network (WAN)
- Fully capable SCADA emergency operations center
- State-of-the-art secure SCADA remote access methods
- Revised SCADA/HMI programming (Citect) with communication optimizations for Sweetwater’s remote pump and reservoir sites (50+).
