Stability and Reliability by Design

All the latest and greatest networking equipment is useless if it's not configured and setup properly. CITI throughly designs and tests all of it's control networks before they are tasked with critical control. Through the use of managed switches and network technologies such as Hyper Ring and Spanning Tree Protocol. CITI designed networks are capable of self healing in the event of damage from electrical storms, construction cutting and digging up of communication cable, and tampering by unauthorized personel. Your plant is too important to trust to office grade hardware so we use hardened network equipment that is designed to operate 24/7 in extreme heat, cold, and moisture rich environments.

Network Security

More and more plant process and control is accomplished using standard network protocols. This is great in the fact that you can now communicate with many devices across many different platforms manufactured by many different companies. This is all the more reason to make sure that your network is as secure as possible. Using hardned firewalls and advanced encryption methods CITI gives you not only access and control from anywhere in the world using the internet, but also peace of mind knowing that your controls are safe from unauthorized users.
