The Modern Data Center Challenge
Modern data centers require flawless 24/7 operation. This section outlines the core operational technology (OT) challenges that must be overcome to ensure uptime, efficiency, and security.
Milliseconds decide the read
At 70 mph a vehicle travels about 3 cm every millisecond. Sensor triggers must reach the camera while the vehicle is still in frame.
More sensors per lane
Open-road and gantryless designs add PoE cameras, RFID readers, LiDAR and occupancy detection, all needing power and gigabit backhaul.
Cabinets in harsh places
Gantry and roadside cabinets see -40 to 75 °C, surge, vibration and very little space.
Payment data on the roadside
Plate images and account data cross public right-of-way. Agencies now ask for IEC 62443-aligned devices, segmentation and VPN to the back office.

Open-Road Tolling Gantries
Recommended Product:
Moxa EDS 4000Cameras, RFID antennas, axle loops and a lane controller share one roadside cabinet, and it must stay up around the clock. Agencies from the Bay Area to Richmond, VA are converting plazas to open-road tolling, so the gantry network has become core infrastructure.
Neteon's MOXA certified engineers provide crucial pre-sales consultation to architect your network correctly, ensuring you leverage MGate's full potential for a smooth, error-free deployment. Our deep expertise in EPMS integration mitigates project risk from day one.
Vehicle Detection and Camera Triggering
Recommended Product:
Moxa ioLogik E1200A BMS operator implemented an energy-efficient HVAC system by using Moxa's ioLogik E1200 series remote I/O to collect real-time temperature data. This data, combined with power consumption and machine status, allowed for automated and optimized control of the HVAC system, resulting in significant energy savings and reduced operational costs. The ioLogik E1200's ability to handle temperature inputs and its 2-port Ethernet switch were key to enabling this IIoT solution.
Neteon helps you to build a real-time alarm system that cuts noise and speeds action.We map your BMS points to the right I/O, set event-driven rules, and ensure critical alerts reach the responsible team without delay.
