MDS Orbit Series
GE MDS has been providing products to meet the specific and
unique requirements for a broad range of industrial applications for
over twenty-five years. The MDS Orbit Series extends the portfolio
to support public infrastructure requirements. Built on a common
platform, GE's MDS Orbit Series provides integrated communications,
enhanced security, consistent user interface configuration, common
packaging, and the rugged construction inherent in all MDS products.
Flexible Communications
The MDS Orbit Series was designed to support Ethernet and
legacy serial applications. Serial protocol support, both active and
transparent, provides easy connectivity to common control and data
aquisition equipment and protocols, such as Modbus and DNP3.
The MDS Orbit MCR-4G devices are equipped with two Ethernet
ports, reducing the need for cabling when used in multiple Ethernet
applications. Serial needs are covered by an RS232/RS485 port. A
USB port provides access for a PC or laptop to connect and configure,
troubleshoot, or maintain the device.
Provides a Secure Environment
Critical infrastructure communication must ensure availability,
integrity, and confidentiality for data flows. The MDS Orbit platform
provides a wealth of best-in-class cyber security capabilities. Cellular
communication is protected with IPsec VPN, network address
translation, and a stateful firewall. WiFi communication is protected
with WPA/WPA2 security. Access to device management is protected
through role-based access control with RADIUS integration and secure
protocols including NETCONF, HTTPS, SNMPv3, and SSH. The MDS Orbit
MCR-4G is protected with boot security and digitally signed firmware.
Ease of Use
The combination of cellular and WiFi provides a method for extending
communications across a well pad or substation. The MDS Orbit MCR-4G
delivers 54 Mbps throughput making it ideal for video monitoring of
remote sites with public access for backhaul. The compact enclosure
easily fits into existing cabinets and its integrated DIN rail mount makes
it a quick and easy product for deployment in all applications.
Network Management Ready
Once a network is operational, users are able to utilize the MDS
PulseNET
TM
comprehensive network management system for end-
to-end management. MDS PulseNET provides pre-built workflows,
along with intuitive graphical representations of the communications
network. It provides real-time availability, performance, and
configuration management of all MDS radio products and select third
party devices, allowing operations personnel to create customizable,
pro-active support processes.
