Red Lion and MG Indusol present secure industrial remote access platform
York, Pennsylvania – October 13, 2020 – Red Lion, announces the launch of its secure remote access platform. This next generation remote access solution meets the most demanding security requirements of modern industrial applications. Red Lion’s secure remote access platform centralizes router management, allowing customers to quickly respond and take action on their most important assets from anywhere, anytime. The ability to remotely access, monitor, and manage various equipment helps reduce operating costs and downtime by reducing site visits and dramatically improving response times.
To simplify deployment, Red Lion’s remote access routers offer Simply.Connect technology. This allows router configuration in less than two minutes, facilitating small or large deployments using just a smartphone. Once configured, the routers can be deployed anywhere, providing seamless, secure, real-time connectivity to remote sites or assets.
The foundation of Red Lion’s remote access platform is RLConnect24, a remote service portal that provides a simple centralized site for monitoring and managing deployed assets and users. RLConnect24 provides data visualization, geographic mapping, data logging, and alarms based on operational or system-generated data. RLDialUp client software allows operators to securely connect their PC to remote assets for maintenance and configuration, just as if they were connected locally.
Red Lion’s Secure Remote Access Routers are industrial-grade gateways that offer optional LAN, WAN, serial, USB, Wi-Fi, or 4G LTE connectivity to ensure seamless integration with any industrial application. Red Lion has also released the RA10 compact industrial firewall, which provides OT cybersecurity. This intelligent firewall can learn and self-configure to help protect older assets, avoid address conflicts, and/or logically isolate machines or groups of machines.
“As the industrial world has rapidly shifted to the new normal of remote production operations due to the pandemic, the demand for platforms that securely enable these remote production operation capabilities has never been stronger and more critical,” according to Craig Resnick, vice president of ARC Advisory Group. “Red Lion’s secure industrial remote access platform was designed to enable secure, real-time access from any location. ARC expects this new normal of remote production operations to continue even after the pandemic, as the industry has recognized its benefits in maximizing productivity, KPIs, profitability, and most importantly, sustainability for overcome any future pandemic-like challenges.
