Customer Problem
With individual engineers and technicians scattered around the world, connectivity is required from various remote locations. Connections allow remote support and control of power plant operational management system, devices, and applications. Connection to three types of services is required, including PC remote access, web application access, and video access to individual video cameras and sensors.
