Resilient networks and surveillance for critical sites.
Industrial networks, perimeter security and monitoring for substations, plants, water works and renewable sites.

Layer mix
Operational realities
What actually creates pressure here
The conditions that decide whether infrastructure holds up in this environment.
- 01Control traffic must arrive reliably over rings that recover quickly when a link fails.
- 02Remote and unmanned sites need surveillance, access control and links that survive power cuts.
- 03Operational networks must be separated from business IT, with controlled remote access.
- 04Harsh environments need rated enclosures, wide-temperature hardware and surge protection.
- 05Documentation, test records and spares matter for audits and for fast repair.
The site, in 3D
Critical sites that stay connected and watched
Ring networks for control traffic, perimeter detection, solar-backed remote sites and a clear boundary from business IT.

Lifecycle path
New sites need network and security design alongside the controls; operating sites more often need segmentation, ring validation, perimeter upgrades or a support agreement.
How we take this on
One contract. The right specialist for every part
Your project is wider than any single team. We scope all of it, source all of it and carry the responsibility for all of it.
- 01
Scope
We survey, size and specify against standards and your operating reality, not against a brochure.
- 02
Source
Any make, any model, from the manufacturer, distribution or registered importers. GST-compliant invoicing, warranty and returns handled for you.
- 03
Deliver
KINNEX engineers do the work we do every day. Where a job needs a specialist, we bring in the right expert team as a sub-order under your single contract.
- 04
Own
One scope, one SOP, one SLA and one point of accountability, whoever is on site.
Standards and terms
Standards we design to, and the terms you will hear
Specifications are written against recognised standards. Here is the vocabulary, in plain language.
- IEC 62443 (industrial security)
- IEC 61850 (substation automation)
- IEC 62439 (PRP and HSR)
- NERC CIP and CEA cyber-security guidance (reference)
- ISA/IEC 62443 zones and conduits
- IP and IK ratings for enclosures
- ATEX and IECEx for hazardous areas
- SCADA
- Supervisory control and data acquisition: software that monitors and controls distributed plant equipment.
- Substation automation
- Digital control and protection of electrical substations, commonly over IEC 61850.
- Perimeter intrusion detection
- Fence sensors, radar and cameras that alert when someone approaches a boundary.
- Backhaul
- The link carrying data from a remote site back to the control centre.
- SOP and SLA
- The documented procedures for supporting the systems, and the response targets agreed for them.
Brands
Any make. Sourced, supplied and supported
