Red Lion Controls, the global experts in communication, monitoring and control for industrial automation and networking, announced that its Sixnet series RAM industrial cellular RTUs and wired routers now provide enhanced communication security using Distrix Networks software-defined networking (SDN) technology.

Distrix’s SDN technology is loaded into RAM devices, speeding and simplifying deployment of communication networks between connected industrial devices and IIoT cloud platforms or providing remote machine access with unsurpassed security. This functionality enables organisations to quickly and easily establish secure communication regardless of whether the backhaul medium is cellular or wired.

This enhancement to Red Lion’s RAM products provides industry-leading security and redundancy, improving on traditional VPN communications, which relied on difficult to manage point-to-point tunnels. The addition of SDN technology provides flexibility, scalability and resiliency to legacy serial-based infrastructures or to present-day IP-based networks.
