Radix IoT In Action: Getting the Most from Your Legacy Systems > A Look at the Telecommunications Sector
In this series we explore how Radix IoT can help you reduce disruptions and achieve better results with your legacy systems. In this first installment, we explore telecommunications infrastructure, and how Radix IoT can solve hidden HVAC and electrical failures before they strike.
Legacy systems, steadfast but aging facility infrastructure components, are necessary for many operations. Unlike their newer counterparts, however, they are notoriously difficult to monitor and manage effectively. Fragmented data, proprietary protocols, and a lack of integration with modern platforms create a complex landscape for facility teams. Replacing them outright is often not feasible due to cost and disruption possibilities. So, how can you get the most out of these systems? That's where Radix IoT can help.
Radix IoT provides modern IoT bridging between outdated legacy technologies and the demands of today's connected world. Our Mango platform enables seamless interoperability, allowing you to gather real-time data, unlock actionable insights, and optimize the performance of your existing infrastructure, driving outcome-based analytics to lower operational expenses and service expenses.
Radix IoT's Mango platform empowers users with real-time alarms and alerts, so they can reduce risk to their systems and address challenges before they turn into disasters.
Solving Hidden HVAC & Electrical Failures Before They Strike
A prime example of where Radix IoT excels is in telecommunications infrastructure.
Without Radix IoT: In a telecommunications facility, legacy HVAC and electrical systems operate independently with limited data sharing. An HVAC system's legacy monitoring system reports a rising temperature, but the underlying cause remains a mystery. Unbeknownst to the team, a failing UPS unit in the electrical system is causing intermittent voltage drops, impacting the HVAC system's compressor. The lack of integrated data prevents the team from connecting the two issues, leading to delayed response times and ultimately an outage.
Radix IoT makes it possible to bring the information from all your systems, HVAC, electrical, environmental, etc. into one dashboard for holistic, remote monitoring.
With Radix IoT: With Radix IoT, the HVAC and electrical systems would be seamlessly integrated into a unified monitoring platform. This would allow for:
Integrated Monitoring: A comprehensive view of all systems, enabling real-time correlation of data and identification of how issues in one system impact others.
Cross-Referencing Alerts: The system can cross-reference related alerts across different systems, highlighting potential connections and speeding up diagnosis.
Proactive Maintenance: Predictive analytics based on historical data from both systems can forecast potential failures, allowing for preventive maintenance and minimizing the risk of outages.
Radix IoT: Bridging the Gap Through Real-Time Data Integration
Radix IoT offers a powerful solution to overcome the limitations of legacy systems. Through seamless integration, real-time data collection, and advanced analytics, we empower operations teams to:
