Backhaul for Remote SCADA: Microwave, Fiber, Cellular & Satellite | OT Security Module 4.12

Pipelines, substations, and pump stations are rarely co-located with their control rooms. The communication medium bridging that distance determines latency, reliability, cost, and security exposure. This final Module 4 video covers licensed microwave, leased fiber, cellular LTE/5G, and satellite (including LEO/Starlink) for remote SCADA connectivity—and the security requirements that apply to every path, including VPN and per-site credential management. 🕐 Chapters: 0:00 – Introduction to Backhaul Communications 0:30 – Why Communication Quality Matters for Control 1:15 – Latency, Reliability, and Security Trade-Offs 2:00 – RTU Behavior During Communication Loss 2:30 – Private Infrastructure: Licensed Microwave 3:20 – Leased Fiber and Dedicated WAN 3:50 – When Private Infrastructure Isn't Practical 4:10 – Cellular LTE and 5G for Remote RTUs 4:45 – VPN Requirements for Cellular Paths 5:15 – Cellular Coverage and SIM Card Management 5:45 – Geostationary Satellite (High Latency) 6:20 – LEO Satellite (Starlink) for SCADA 6:45 – Security Requirements for Remote Sites 7:15 – Per-Site VPN Credentials 7:30 – Module 4 Wrap-Up & Module 5 Preview Part of Module 4: Network Architecture and Segmentation Full course playlist: [link] If this was useful, subscribe for more content like this. #OTSecurity #IndustrialCybersecurity #ICS #SCADA #SCADACommunications #RemoteAccess
