Electricity

For electricity companies, the insight derived from data collected from IoT can enhance productivity and efficiency, improve decision making, solve critical problems, and reduce costs.

It's incredibly important for businesses in the electricity supply sector to ensure they have the most robust and reliable solutions in place. Any less could result in avoidable down-time which can impact customers.

AST Networks deliver integrated hardware and software solutions to give clients better management of assets and operations, greater reliability and security.

Smart Grids

As the consumption for electricity continues to grow, the need for smarter energy solutions has increased and Smart Grids are being introduced across the globe. For Smart Grid Infrastructure to operate at peak productivity solutions capable of integrating equipment reliably in real-time is essential.

AST Networks has developed IRIS, its award-winning, cost-efficient remote monitoring and control application delivering a complete end-to-end solution to ensure operational efficiency.
