Serial in general and modem-based communications in particular are still a day-to-day reality in many industrial segments, e.g. utilities with substation applications, water/wastewater providers, general industrial automation, and remote access applications.
While these devices have been reliable and cost-effective for decades, their limitations in the distance, data transfer rates, and cybersecurity can pose significant challenges.
