SOLUTION
SBT Europe BV reached out for help with resolving connectivity issues to Capestone. What they needed was a complete IoT solution ensuring connection continuity at any location, at any given time due to the mobile nature of their business. Combining Capestone’s SIM cards with Teltonika Networks LTE Cat 4 RUT955 satisfied all the requirements because of a few reasons.
The possibility to use two SIM cards provides a backup in case the primary connection is lost. This feature is crucial in remote locations with limited communication options. It is often the case for construction sites, solar farms, and other industrial establishments. Multiple digital and analogue inputs and outputs found in RUT955 allow easily connecting all of the equipment. Usually, there is more than one mast on the site. Therefore, the time resources needed for the setup process make a difference.
Another requirement was for each mast to have its IP address to enable reaching each of them separately safely via VPN IP Sec. Besides, having unique IP addresses with the location makes it possible to keep track of where the masts are in the SBT internal system.
Finally, there is an alarm modem in each mast connected to the alarm center. Having this IoT solution enables resolving minor issues remotely without a need to travel to the mast.
Now, SBT Europe BV offers its clients a solution that includes the masts with track and trace, approach alarm, access control, and security cameras. Offering an off-the-shelf complete IoT product reduces the chances of having any internet security or downtime problems. It also makes the management of the solution unified across locations, therefore much simpler and more efficient. Having the possibility to manage the solution remotely enables spending time catering to other vital business needs.

WHY TELTONIKA NETWORKS?
In the words of the SBT Europe BV: „It’s never safe enough, a hundred percent guarantee that hackers can’t get through doesn’t exist. We wanted to be able to arrange this remotely. At the same time, we are able to link the unique IP address with the location to keep track of where the masts are in our system. Finally, there is an alarm modem in the mast, which is connected to the alarm center. This IoT solution enables us not to have to go to the mast but to be able to arrange this remotely. “
