icom Connectivity Suite – VPN
Transparent remote access to plant and machinery
Quick and easy setup of a secure VPN connection for maintenance, control and data collection from installations worldwide
The task: enabling remote access to machines anywhere in the world
Remote access to local networks, machines and systems is the basis for almost all IoT applications. VPN solutions need to be secure, flexible and easy to set up. In addition, it has to be possible to connect a large number of devices and the cost model must be transparent.
The solution: icom Connectivity Suite – VPN
The icom Connectivity Suite – VPN is an INSYS icom service for the simple and secure networking of locations, systems or mobile devices via a VPN network. The PCs and routers which are networked via the icom Connectivity Suite – VPN as well as the locally connected network devices (e.g. controls or measuring devices) are accessible in all networks. Simple rules can be used to define which participant is allowed to connect to whom and which connections are not possible. The integration and administration of the devices couldn’t be easier: configuration files and certificates are generated by the service and, thanks to the quick start wizard, automatically uploaded in the case of INSYS icom routers. Neither your own infrastructure nor IT specialists are required.
