i-Comm Secure

SKU: FP-ICOMM

The i-Comm Secure is an encrypted communications device, linking assets via a WiFi or LAN connection, with full remote management and supervision. It complements our range of cellular communication products, and is ideal for utilities, IoT, retail and many other applications where PSTN services are being withdrawn, and cellular connections are unavailable or undesirable.

Advanced secure communications

The i-Comm Secure provides a secure network tunnel for communication. Using a standard RS232/V24 interface with power via interface or external PSU. Its small size and light weight means it needs no additional fixing in most applications.

i-Comm uses Ground Control’s iPAM Intelligent IP application and data management system, providing an always-on link to the connected asset. iPAM manages addressing and routing to provide a static IP:Port for communication regardless of i-Comm address environment.

The service is secure and appears exactly the same as our cellular service to customers, so the communication process is identical. Core services running on UK-located AWS Scalable Servers, with redundancy for high tier reliability.
