Viola Systems forges strategic partnerships in India and targets first its rapidly growing power sector

Viola Systems, a provider of industrial-grade wireless M2M connectivity solutions, has formally announced strategic partners for the Indian market.

“We proudly welcome our new, distinguished business partners in India: Process and Machinery Automation (PMAS) in Jaipur, North India and Protocol Automation in Bangalore, Central India.

PMAS and Protocol Automation both have unique expertise across various industry verticals. More importantly, both are actively involved in various modernization projects in the utility sector,” says Rajiv Oberoi, Country Manager for India at Viola Systems.

“Viola enters India at the right time with unique set of products. For utilities, especially Viola’s Arctic IEC-104 and Modbus Gateways look very interesting,” begins Sachin Bhargava, CEO of PMAS.

He explains: “India is now developing a countrywide network for vital infrastructure, like telecom, power and highways. Viola’s products offer unique possibilities for our customers to access real-time information in remote previously inaccessible field devices through a field-proven, reliable and always-on communication solution.”

He stresses, that for Indian conditions it is important that the Viola M2M Solution is operator-independent, that means itallows the end-customer to choose the best and cheapest telecom provider in a particular area by eliminating the need to obtain costly private Access Point Name (APN) from a mobile operator.

Private APN is usually needed in order to arrange fixed, static IP addresses for field devices but the Viola M2M Solution can do this without the private APN, the company said.
