The cultural divide between IT and OT security is creating a massive global risk. Ransomware has been the number one OT attack on organizations this year.
Vislink: Some 120 IPLink 3.0 transmitters will be installed
Valued at approximately $2.8 million, the project will require an upgrade of 30 locations with bidirectional, high-speed IP components from Vislink.
“Before we could upgrade to an ATSC 3.0 on our transmitters, we had to have an IP network over the microwave system designed to handle an ATSC 3.0 signal,” explained Windell Wood, director of engineering and COO for APT. The current system has been in place since 2010 and is only capable of supporting ATSC 1.0.
The APT network utilises nine transmitters and 21 repeaters to maintain state-wide coverage. The master signal originates from the network operations centre at APT’s flagship station, WBIQ, in Birmingham, Alabama. To achieve bidirectional connectivity and full redundancy across the entire network, TSG will install 120 of Vislink’s IPLink 3.0 transmitters – four at each site.
