PCN IP-485 Platform Selected as Most Innovative Communications and IT Products January 4, 2011
PCN IP-485™ Products Accelerate the Industrial Communication Revolution by Immediately Unifying Private Control Networks with Open Standard Feature-Rich Internet Networks
SAN DIEGO, January 4, 2011 – Before a sold out crowd of over 800 business leaders and entrepreneurs, San Diego’s leading technology nonprofit organization, CONNECT, announced that PCN’s IP-485 products were the 2010 top award winner for innovation for Communication & Information Technology. Easily integrated into existing machine to machine control networks by using the same twisted pair wire already installed; PCN IP-485 products transition secure and reliable private control networks into a unified interconnected Control and IP based network offering a combined solution while simultaneously maintaining the benefits of each independent system. Acknowledged as a world leading program recognizing emerging technologies, CONNECT’s past award recipients have been companies such as Qualcomm, General Atomics, Entropic Communications, Freescale among others.Since the 1990’s technology products and markets have transitioned towards an Internet based world. This has included the rapid adoption of new media, payments, social networking, software, smart devices & sensors among many other types of intelligent devices and applications. Underlying infrastructure within critical commercial, industrial and energy markets were not designed for web connectivity due to security and reliability requirements. With the huge advances of IP throughout the world however; structured machine networks can now obtain the same revolutionary applications & benefits by utilizing PCN products and solutions for interconnecting, multiplexing and unifying critical private networks with open IP networks using the exact same wires already in place.
PCN IP-485™ products provide private network security, reliability, & robustness with remote feature rich Internet enabled functionality without affecting existing network operations, infrastructure, or existing product platforms. PCN products & platforms ultimately create “an infrastructure cloud” allowing critical control and power operations to be maintained and guarded; while on the same wire allowing new infrastructure IP based cloud applications to be created and utilized through interconnectivity to the Internet.
Venkat Shastri, CEO of PCN Technology, Inc. stated, “PCN is honored to be awarded with the Most Innovative Product for our IP-485™ networking platform. We thank CONNECT and its distinguished judges for their selection. With so many successful global communication technology companies in this region; receiving the CONNECT MIP award is very special to PCN”.
Daniel Drolet, SVP of PCN commented; “Due to the structured critical requirements of machine to machine networks they have simply not been able to accelerate as rapidly to an IP based world as have consumer markets and applications. PCN products allow the industrial communication revolution to take hold and rapidly spread by providing convergence and interconnectivity of Control, Power and IP data networks using the existing web of copper data and power wiring already deployed throughout the world.”
PCN products are being marketed and sold to companies worldwide within commercial, industrial, building automation, oil and gas, clean energy, smart grid, manufacturing, transportation, and hospitality markets.
Other winners in separate categories include: Trex Aviation Systems, AgigA Tech, NeuroVigil, Zogenrix, ElliptiGO, PowerSTAR, and Legend 3D.
