Simple. Affordable. Transformative. Integration with Cirrus Link Solutions and Ignition Eliminated cellular costs by consolidating sites via LoRaWAN® Legacy water infrastructure systems in a Utah city relied on isolated PLCs with dedicated cellular routers at each site — leading to high per-node costs, complex billing, and network management headaches. Utilities needed a retrofit-friendly, lower-cost, centrally managed alternative that could integrate with existing PLCs without replacing them. Solution Results Provided a flexible growth path for future meter and sensor integrations Extended life of legacy RTUs without major redesigns Challenge By integrating Digi XBee® Intelligent Edge Controllers (IEC-9) with Digi X-ON and LoRaWAN® gateways (HX15), ICTech and Digi enabled: • Modbus RTU connectivity to existing PLCs • Secure LoRaWAN communication from field sites • Real-time data streaming via MQTT to SCADA systems (e.g., Ignition) • Scalable, non-disruptive retrofitting of field assets
