Safety in critical infrastructure

Critical infrastructure refers to sectors that are essential for society and whose failure would result in far-reaching social and economic consequences. These sectors include, for example, water supply, energy production, waste managenent, transportation and IT organizations. In industries such as petrochemical plants, offshore platforms or mining operations, safety is governed by strict regulations and international standards. Explosion proof network devices play a decisive role in these environments by enabling process visualization, reliable data transmission and alarm forwarding in hazardous zones. SAMCON network technology provides secure and continuous communication while offering intelligent analysis functions that deliver accessible insights for operators of critical infrastructure.

ATEX and IECEx certified network solutions for offshore platforms ensure safe operation under extreme conditions with salt spray, heavy winds and explosive gases. In water treatment plants and pump stations, explosion proof networking equipment guarantees reliable data transfer, supporting SCADA integration and early leak detection. PoE-enabled network devices for Zone 1 and Zone 2 provide seamless communication in safety-critical applications where downtime must be avoided at all costs.

In mining operations, explosion proof network switches and routers support monitoring of shaft hoisting systems, ensuring safe data transmission for position monitoring and emergency alarm forwarding. In waste-to-energy facilities, stainless steel housings protect network hardware against aggressive atmospheres containing hydrogen sulfide or ammonia, enabling long-term and reliable operation. Industrial switches certified for hazardous areas withstand heat, humidity and vibration, ensuring durability in the harshest environments.
Explosion proof network devices are also essential for secure video and data communication in critical infrastructures. ATEX and IECEx certified switches and routers integrate easily into CCTV and IP networks, enabling visual monitoring, alarm systems and audio functions in hazardous areas. Communication interfaces designed for emergency and evacuation systems connect cameras, alarms and voice communication directly with explosion proof network equipment, providing a complete and resilient safety infrastructure.
