Flagship product receives major security upgrade.

Englewood, CO (PRWEB) January 30, 2006 -- M2M Data Corporation, an Internet-based Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) leader, today announced a significant security upgrade to its industry-leading iSCADA™ service product. Data and access security procedures & processes have been upgraded to meet electric utility industry standards. iSCADA is a full-featured application for remote monitoring and control of energy assets. iSCADA includes real-time data collection, alarming, trending, and control.

The security upgrade includes 20-plus additions and improvements and has been audited & approved by a major electric utility.

Trevor Harper, Director of Technology Development, said of the upgrade, “This upgrade enhances our robust data security and offers iSCADA administrators more security options to meet their individual security requirements.”

iSCADA is a rapidly deployed, managed machine-to-machine communications service product used for monitoring and controlling remote, mobile, and fixed assets. iSCADA uses Internet, wireless, satellite, smart field devices, and industrial M2M technologies to efficiently communicate operating data between people, devices, and systems. The service is provided on a turnkey basis including communication services with minimal or no capital expense, and is backed by a service level guarantee.

M2M’s iSCADA service offers a cost-effective alternative to proprietary SCADA and telemetry systems traditionally used by energy producers and distributors to manage their remote assets.
