THE ULTIMATE FEP BRIDGING MOTOROLA RTUs TO MODERN SCADA VIA OPEN & STANDARD PROTOCOLS.
THE CLOCK HAS RUN OUT ON UNSUPPORTED LEGACY INFRASTRUCTURE!
Operating critical infrastructure on an abandoned, unpatched communication head-end is a liability your network can no longer afford. Legacy IP Gateways and obsolete 3rd party FIU solutions have officially transformed into active compliance blind spots within modern OT networks. Waiting for a system failure is no longer an option. Gate2MDLC provides an immediate, risk-free cutover replacing vulnerable, orphaned gateway layers with an actively supported, secure hardware bridge.
By acting as a secure proxy barrier between your field radio assets and the corporate SCADA network, it instantly closes security gaps and brings your system into modern compliance.
Mitigate the Risk Today: The Imperative for Immediate FEP Modernization.
Every day your utility relies on an unpatched, unsupported master-site communication processor is another day exposed to severe operational and cybersecurity risks. Legacy IP Gateways and sunsetted 3rd party FIU systems represent severe compliance vulnerabilities that demand immediate intervention. Gate2MDLC eliminates this operational exposure without delay. By dropping directly into your central control room, it replaces the abandoned interface layer with a secure, modern hardware & software FEP safeguarding your bulletproof field assets while securely bridging legacy telemetry into modern SCADA networks.
Stop Managing Liabilities. Secure Your Backbone Now.
The time to replace your orphaned central infrastructure is before an unpatched bug halts your telemetry link. Legacy IP Gateways and aging 3rd party FIU solutions are a ticking compliance box in modern OT networks. Gate2MDLC allows you to take decisive action today. It seamlessly replaces the abandoned gateway layer with a secure, actively supported hardware bridge, forming an isolated proxy barrier that protects your legacy field network while feeding clean data to your modern SCADA host.
ENGINEERED BY THE WORLD’S LEADING MDLC EXPERTS, GATE2MDLC IS THE ONLY FEP THAT SEAMLESSLY BRIDGES ALL MOTOROLA RTUs (MC-EDGE, ACE3600, MOSCAD, ACE1000, MOSCAD-M/L) TO ALL MAJOR SCADA SOFTWARE VIA STANDARD/OPEN PROTOCOLS (MODBUS, DNP3.0, IEC60870-5-104/1).
Gate2MDLC is specifically designed to substitute obsolete Motorola MCP-M, MCP-T, M-OPC, and IP Gateways—as well as legacy 3rd-party FIU (Front End Interface Unit) processing solutions—without requiring modification to existing RTU applications. Its primary customers are organizations trapped on legacy setups who need to map MDLC data directly to modern SCADA centers via standard protocols like MODBUS, DNP3, or IEC 60870-5-104.
-
Smart Grid & Electricity Distribution Companies: Power utilities utilizing MDLC bridging over wireless or fiber networks for substation automation, re-closers, capacitor banks, and load-shedding networks. Gate2MDLC allows grid operators to bypass failing 3rd-party FIU boxes and feed real-time distribution data into modern DMS/SCADA platforms via standard protocols like DNP3 or IEC 60870-5-104 without touching field RTU logic.
-
Large-Scale Water Authorities: Utilities needing to replace aging 3rd-party FIU solutions and bring existing MOSCAD or legacy/new ACE3600 network points directly into modern HMI/SCADA engines (like ControlMaestro, Wonderware InTouch, or iFIX) via a clean IP bridge.
-
Oil & Gas Pipeline Operators: Midstream operators with massive, geographically dispersed telemetry infrastructure over complex radio links (TETRA, P25, digital data radio) that need a highly reliable, redundant FEP at the central control room to displace unsupported 3rd-party communication hardware and parse the protocol layers seamlessly.
-
Civil Defense / Siren Networks: Municipalities and public safety bodies running large early-warning siren configurations over radio systems (like MotoTRBO or DMR) that rely on a dedicated hardware FEP to eliminate legacy 3rd-party FIU bottlenecks and guarantee immediate, low-overhead communication execution without software-induced latency.
After more than three decades in the field, MDLC remains the only field-proven, native 7-layer OSI protocol engineered to operate deterministically over any communication network infrastructure, even across vast, wide, or geographically unreachable areas. While standard open protocols struggle with overhead, drop packets, or fail entirely when subjected to complex, constrained, or remote data paths, MDLC’s robust error-correction, network layer, session oriented, remote SW & HW diagnostics, and report-by-exception capabilities ensure flawless transmission over extreme distances. Gate2MDLC preserves this structural resilience across generation gaps by natively supporting both legacy radio technologies and modern, next-generation wireless networks including conventional narrow-band data radio, ASTRO, DMR (MotoTRBO), TETRA, Conventional, Data Radio and more. It is this total media flexibility that allows utilities to maintain bulletproof connectivity across their most remote and un-reachable assets while upgrading their physical network carriers seamlessly.
