KALKI.IO EDGE
Utility Gateway

KALKI.IO Edge utility gateway identified as KIOE 200/2000/3000 is the software used for utility applications such as substation automation, distribution automation. Variant models with pre-packed licenses enable each model to be sued for specific applications such as generation stations, transmission substations, sub-transmission substations, primary distribution stations, and secondary compact substations. Utility gateway can be used as substation data concentrator as well with the capability to collect fault/ disturbance files from protection relays and enabled remote IED management. Because of the application criticality, this package comes with features such as device redundancy and communication redundancy, which make it a highly reliable and available solution. It can be used for niche applications including substation to control centre gateway, disturbance data recording, phasor data concentration, inter control centre gateway using ICCP protocol, grid meter data concentrator, demand response controller, and smart grid controller.

Utility Gateway is available in different packaging options such as Debian, RPM, and docker to suit a wide range of edge device platforms. The software is validated on recognized industrial hardware certified to be used for substation rugged environments.

KALKI.IO EDGE (KIOE) earlier known as SyncConnect utility gateways are secure access points to the utility automation and control network, which provides a layer of security protection, and ensures the confidentiality and integrity for engineering access and data collected from field devices using various protocols with real-time access to key operational data. KIOE Utility Gateway through its secure and controlled interface provides connectivity to a vast range of substation devices for data collection, secure remote access, automatic retrieval of fault recordings, and remote view of device settings. The software gateway also helps in enabling NERC CIP compliance for the substation network.

Benefits of Utility Gateway

Kalki utility gateways are the access points to the substation network, which provides a layer of security protection and ensures the confidentiality and integrity for engineering access and data collected from field devices using various protocols with real-time access to key operations. They are highly capable of defending against intrusions, denial of service attacks, etc while identifying cybersecurity incidents and anomalies. Kalkitech Utility Gateway through its secure and controlled interface provides connectivity to a vast range of substation data including remote device access, automatic retrieval and storage of error files, remote view of device settings, and subsequent revision to substation settings. The gateway supports NERC CIP compliance providing invaluable data for planning, management, maintenance, and response via secure remote access. KIOE utility gateway can not only complete information transmission, data synthesis, equipment monitoring, and management functions between multiple devices, smart meters, etc. but can also reduce production costs and improve labor efficiency with its strong protocols, customized development, stable running, which are suitable for large-scale, high demand integrated automation systems.
