COMMUNICATIONS & NETWORKING
Implementing the firewalls was challenging, but ultimately, configuration of the firewalls was successful and going forward has provided the customer confidence that the network is secure.
“We felt fully supported by Westermo throughout design and installation. We are delighted we now have an upgraded, supportable system in place and that this was achieved during extremely challenging times. Collaboration between all parties has made this a success,” said Charlie Pritchard, Infrastructure Project Manager at Anglian Water. In total, twelve Wolverine DDW-142 and
Westermo helped to design the new data communications network. As a result of this successful network
upgrade, the local area can continue to enjoy clean and uninterrupted water supply every day
DDW-225 line extenders were installed to enable the existing cables to be reused to create effective Ethernet networks over long distances to the remote sites. The Wolverines use SHDSL technology, which makes it possible to reuse many types of pre-existing copper cables which can lead to considerable financial savings. All Wolverine devices are powered by Westermo’s WeOS operating system, which enables complex networking functions to be configured easily. Ten of Westermo’s MRD-455 routers
(pictured, right) were installed, one at each site, to create the 4G network. In addition, the routers provide a gateway to the IP network, and a unique method for port forwarding to
allow remote support and monitoring. Once installed, the network immediately
operated correctly. Despite the challenges caused by the pandemic, Westermo was able to develop a stable, secure and ultra-robust network with remote access support as an alternative to on-site support. This has ensured the network has operated smoothly without any interruptions.
