Tunnellers

Simply better networking

Tunnellers provide easy-to-configure, secure, and robust networking for data protocols that are difficult to connect or that rely on insecure architectures. The Cogent DataHub Tunnellers go beyond the basics, letting you integrate your data without exposing your networks.

DataHub DA Tunneller: Network OPC DA without DCOM or exposing your network. Collect OPC data from multiple remote locations, or connect OPC DA servers and clients on different networks. Eliminate the hassles of DCOM, detect network breaks quickly and recover from them smoothly.
