Facing international competition including the main european providers, ETIC TELECOM has been selected by ROHDE & SHWARZ France to provide 750 IPL-RS232 routers.

That routers are a part of the radio data transmission network conform to the TETRA norm provided by RHODE & SCHWARZ to cover the huge 10000 Km2 oil field operated by SONATRACH in HASSI-MESSAOUD - ALGERIA.
INVENSYS, the international engineering company is in charge of the global conception of the system.

The ETIC router has been selected because of its reliability, it capability to run up to 70 °C and its very low power consumption of about 1 watt.

The function of the system is to control the 750 wells from a central supervision system through a wireless network.

A cabinet supplied by a solar panel is installed on each well; it includes one dedicated PLC with an Ethernet interface in charge of the well process, and also the router and a TETRA radio terminal.

Each ETIC router is in charge of setting a permanent link between the cabinet ethernet network and the central supervision system though the TETRA network.

VFI, a subsidiary of the public french railway company is specialized in industrial locomotives manufacturing.

VFI has selected the IPL-G12 GSM-3G router.

One IPL-G12 is installed in each locomotive on the technical Ethernet network. The IPL-G12 makes possible to centralize the GPS positions of all the locomotives and to carry-out remote maintenance operations.

CEGELEC has selected the ADSL router IPL-AD2 for the new water treatment system of the Lyon metropole.
About 100 PLCS are installed all around the city. The PLCs are connected to a central system through the Internet.

Barox has selected the XSRING SHDSL failsafe switch to interconnect the devices (PLCs, sensors, security devices, supervision, of highway tunnels.
100 SHDSL switches have been delivered.

M2Me is the new solution of ETIC for remote maintenance of automated systems. It is the Internet complement for the successful "Remote Access Server" range of ETIC.
It provides the capability to connect safely a remote maintenance PC to an industrial device or to an industrial network using existing Internet accesses or through usual switched lines (PSTN, ISDN, GSM), if the Internet cannot be used for any reason.
The solution is made of 3 components : The M2Me Secure software installed on the maintenance PC, the M2Me Service which is an optional Internet service provided by ETIC, and the Remote Access Server which connects the machine to the world.
"M2Me Secure", is the security VPN engine; it looks like an address book. A click is sufficient to connect safely the PC to a machine through the world.

The IM512 inverse-multiplexer allows to transmsit up to 512 Kb/s over an ISDN network.
The US army, the NATO and the french army have successively selected the IM512 to connect field networks devices to the staff networks through encrypted ISDN networks.
400 units have been delivered and installed.

The XSRING SHDSL switch of ETIC has been chosen by the city of Toulouse for traffic control informations transmission.
Ttraffic control systems turn definitively to the IP protocol which allow to multiplex as well road light controllers, pollution control devices, cameras etc... on the same link.
SHDSL technology is the right solution to use existing cables previously made for modems.
Moreover, the XSRING brings a strong advantage : It allows to build multidrop or failsafe ring subnetworks; that solution reduces the number of copper pairs and increases the availability of the system.

The XOLAN fiber optic switch has been selected by Lyon City to control the traffic lights of the whole city.
The system has been designed by the european engineering company SPIE which is one of the main specialists of that type of systems.
About 500 hybrid switches (Fiber optic + ethernet + RS232) have been installed.

The new RAS-M156 remote access server allows users remote access to a local Ethernet TCP/IP Lan via the telephone network.
It permits the machine's manufacturers to remotely maintain a group of machines connected to an ethernet Lan and the PLCs user to consult the web servers built into the PLCs or a network PC.
Particular attention has been paid to security:
The RAS-M156 server keeps a list of authorised users and offers the security call-back function if necessary
It also has a built-in firewall which limits the IP domain and the applications accessible to them. Thus, for example, one user may only be allowed to consult the PLC's web server and the web cams whereas another may have access to the maintenance programming of a specific PLC or a PC SCADA software.
The RAS-M156 has a built-in V90 modem and works on all telephone networks across the five continents.

Our MODEMVIEW software is aimed at those who take care of the remote maintenance of PLC programming via the telephone or GSM networks.
It is particularly useful when a large number of PLC's are subject to remote maintenance. If your client is having problems with his equipment you want to be able to provide immediate support without worrying about the technicalities; what number do i have dial to reach his PLC in Brazil? What type of connection does he have? etc. ModemView takes care of all of these questions leaving you free to concentrate on important part: The programming of your clients PLC.
Modemview consists of an address book in which the contact details of every one of your clients machines is listed as well as all connection details. In a click of a button you can be connected your clients PLC. Then all you need to do to is start the application you want to use (PLC programming software for Siemens, Schneider, Omron, Rockwell....) and you can start finding the solutions as if you were there yourself.
As well as an address book ModemView includes a modem configuration and connection testing tool.
Modemview is supplied with the ETIC modems MTI133 (RTC) or MGI196 (GSM).

GTMH chose the MDM192 multi-drops digital modem to link the SCADA to the 60 pumping stations which make up the water supply network for the entire city of Samarcande. The MDM192 enables constant communication between the SCADA's software and the pumps, the distance between which can reach up to 10 kilometers at points. The SCADA and the pumps communicate using Modbus transmitted by a two-wire telephone line. The MDM192's multi-drops system was exploited fully by GTMH to simplify the network, reduce the amount of modems necessary by half and keep the number of two-wire telephone lines to a strict minimum.

60 MDM192 modems are currently in place along the new TGV South-eastern line. They retransmit the data collected by wind gauges, permitting the train to reduce its speed in case of strong winds. Despite the relative complexity of the task they were installed by SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC in a manner of days.

TDCom is one of the largest French companies dealing with research and development of integrated solutions for the transmission of images and information. TDCom is the main service provider for the Tour de France, Paris-Dakar and the Gaulois-Raid.
TDCom uses our IM512 ISDN inverse multi-plexer for its onsite video-conferencing systems. The IM512 was chosen for its compact size, its proven reliability and its compatability with the INMARSAT satellite system. TDCom and ETIC worked together closely to create the new application of our product. TDCom's videoconferencing system equipped with the IM512 can be installed anywhere in the world within the coverage of the INMARSAT satellite, right at the heart of the action.
