Secure Wireless Network Enhances Control System Operations

The City of Eugene’s Water & Electric Board is Oregon's largest customer-owned utility since 1911. The City’s Wastewater Division wished to enable mobile access to the control system for operations and maintenance staff from any location within the facility. Requirements called for a dedicated, secure wireless network.

The City of Eugene contracted Yokogawa for a solution. Not only is Yokogawa the control system supplier, but the company also has considerable experience with wireless instrumentation and control systems. In addition, Yokogawa’s extensive cyber security experience was a very important consideration.
