Reliable and flexible asset management

CGI’s Remote Telemetry Units (RTU), (also commonly known as Remote Terminal Units), form a key part of our Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition SCADA offering in the Australian market. They are extensively proven across Australian electricity transmission and distribution networks, providing flexibility and scalability to help support businesses in their transition to an intelligent grid.

Our highly reliable devices cater for different industries, assets and site types with scarce limitations on application functionality. They support utility and grid operators in significantly reducing complexity, training and lifecycle costs, resulting in an intuitive solution that is easier to engineer, operate and maintain. Our RTUs are uniquely Australian, designed in Sydney and built in Brisbane specifically for rugged Australian conditions. With our local manufacturing partner, we design, build and support each RTU device, and can customise the units to suit specific needs. The RTU product range has built in cyber security to ensure safe and secure operations.
