10ⁿ Tech designs and builds the networks that run industrial sites and large campuses – resilient connectivity, converged IT and OT, and on-site compute for remote production complexes, plants, ports, warehouses and multi-building estates. One accountable partner from the survey to the live, segmented, monitored network.
What is an industrial and campus network?
An office network moves email and documents. An industrial or campus network has to carry production control, surveillance, building systems, telephony and enterprise applications across many buildings – often on a remote site with no carrier fibre, in heat, dust and salt that destroy commodity hardware. It has to keep operational technology (sensors, PLCs, SCADA, cameras) safely separated from enterprise IT, and it can never go fully dark, because when the network stops, the site stops. We design for that reality from day one.
The problems we solve
Production sites far from the nearest carrier point of presence. We engineer connectivity that works on day one and survives a link failure.
Control systems and enterprise IT share a building but must never share a flat network. We segment and monitor the boundary properly.
45°C ambient, dust and coastal salinity. Properly rated cabinets, sealed access points and cooling redundancy are not optional.
Plants, warehouses, accommodation and head office, each with different needs, tied into one coherent, manageable estate.
What we build
Built to a standard, not a habit
Every design decision traces to a published framework, so it is defensible to auditors, insurers and your own engineers:
| Standard | What it governs here |
|---|---|
| ISA-95 / Purdue model | Layered segmentation from field devices to enterprise IT – the backbone of safe OT/IT separation. |
| IEC 62443 | OT cybersecurity zones and conduits – the security baseline for SCADA and control networks. |
| NIST CSF / ISO 27001 | Enterprise IT security framework and information-security management for export-market trust. |
| TOGAF | Business, data, application and technology layers kept separate and traceable end to end. |
Resilient connectivity for remote sites
When the network dies, the site dies – so we design for it never going fully dark. For sites with no carrier fibre on day one, the proven pattern is dual-carrier leased fibre where available, microwave backhaul to the nearest point of presence, and business-grade LEO satellite as automatic failover, all tied together by SD-WAN. Critical control loops stay local at the edge, so production keeps running even if every external link drops. As permanent fibre lands, it slots into the same orchestrated fabric with no redesign.
On-site and edge compute
The network needs somewhere to live. We build the on-site data centre as a hyper-converged cluster – compute, storage and backup in a compact, resilient footprint with redundant power, cooling and an air-gapped immutable backup copy. Where civil works are on the critical path or the site is remote, a prefabricated container data centre decouples your IT cutover from the building programme: it arrives pre-integrated, factory-tested and climate-sealed, and is energised in weeks rather than months. The same edge-first design keeps the site autonomous when the wider network is interrupted.
Where it fits
- Food and agriculture – remote complexes of fields, processing plants, cold stores and accommodation into one network.
- Manufacturing and heavy industry – converged plant networks where production control and enterprise IT must coexist safely.
- Logistics and cold chain – warehouses, yards and ports with dense Wi-Fi, scanning and surveillance.
- Energy and utilities – distributed sites with strict OT segmentation and resilient backhaul.
- Corporate and mixed-use campuses – multi-building estates needing one coherent, secure, manageable network.
Why 10ⁿ Tech
We are a single design-and-build partner across connectivity, campus networking, IT/OT convergence, on-site compute and network security – vendor-agnostic, with a partner ecosystem spanning the leading network, compute, storage, firewall and backup vendors, and delivery experience on remote and large-scale GCC sites. The same network becomes the foundation for everything we build on top of it: video analytics, self-hosted enterprise AI and a factory or plant digital twin.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an industrial network and a normal corporate network?
An industrial network carries operational technology – sensors, PLCs, SCADA, cameras – alongside enterprise IT, with hard segmentation between them, hardware rated for harsh environments, and a resilience requirement that office networks rarely have. Downtime stops production, not just email.
How do you connect a remote site with no fibre?
With layered redundancy: leased fibre or microwave backhaul to the nearest carrier point of presence, business-grade satellite as automatic failover, and SD-WAN to orchestrate them – plus edge compute so critical systems keep running if all external links drop.
How do you keep OT and IT secure on the same site?
We follow the Purdue model and IEC 62443: operational technology sits in its own segmented zones, separated from enterprise IT by a hardware DMZ and next-gen firewalls, with OT-aware monitoring so every device and data conduit is visible and controlled.
What is a container data centre and when do you use it?
A prefabricated, factory-integrated data centre in a climate-sealed enclosure. We use it when building works are on the critical path or the site is remote – it arrives pre-tested and is energised in weeks, decoupling your IT cutover from civil construction.
Can you work with our existing equipment?
Yes. We extend what works rather than rip and replace – for example building on an existing firewall ecosystem – and integrate new layers around your current standards where they make sense.
