The Arctic products allow accessing and

managing any remote asset from a central

location. The result is a smarter distribution

network and a more interconnected world.

ABB employs strict cyber security measures to

safeguard all network traffic between remote

assets and the central monitoring and control

system. The security features include:

• Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections

between the M2M gateway ARM600 and remote

Arctic gateways and controllers

• Private IP addressing – no access from external networks

• Firewall in every Arctic device

• SIM card protected by PIN code

• User authentication

The centrally located M2M gateway ARM600

includes a unique device management application – Arctic Patrol – used for supervision of

communication links and remote management of

Arctic gateways, controllers and the remote I/O

unit RIO600. Arctic Patrol allows simultaneous

updating of both the configuration and the

firmware of up to 1.000 RIO600 units via the

Arctic communication devices, which saves both time and money.
