IIoT Mobile Gateway Allows Data Exchange to Be Converted from CSD to Modern Communication Channels

The constantly increasing demand for bandwidth is leading to ever shorter communication technology cycles. The service life of capital goods in plant engineering thus sometimes significantly exceeds the availability of the selected data connection. The circuit-switched data service CSD is an example of this development. By the end of 2022, the existing communication solution must be replaced. A CSD over IP gateway allows plants communicating via CSD to continue using them with little effort instead of replacing them.
