Fiberoptic OT Network
Owned the full lifecycle of this project, connecting capital planning, engineering, delivery and operating readiness. Plant controls needed a network designed around industrial availability, segmentation and maintainability. Shared infrastructure and power disturbances created dependencies that had to be addressed during the transition to a dedicated OT backbone.
Workstream: OT Network and Controls Transformation
The Operating Context
Operating Context
Plant controls needed a network designed around industrial availability, segmentation and maintainability. Shared infrastructure and power disturbances created dependencies that had to be addressed during the transition to a dedicated OT backbone.
Developed the fiber and managed-switch architecture, resilient power arrangements, configuration and rollback requirements, and cutover sequence. Network drawings, device labeling and validation connected the installation with operator and maintenance needs. The work included a 10 Gbps backbone and 13 UPS-backed resilience points.
Purpose & Engineering Scope
Purpose and Scope
Business Purpose
Enhanced process security, reduced latency, and increased convergence speed by transitioning Engineering controls from IT to isolated OT fiber backbone.
Technical Scope
distribution switches Distribution Switching, managed access switches Managed Access Switching, Fiberoptic Backbone (OM3 50/125 multi-mode), VLAN Segmentation (IEEE 802.1Q), UPS-Backed OT Network IDFs, 10 Gbps East-West Backbone
The Work & Its Outcomes
Work and Outcomes
Engineering Approach
- Coordinated Phase 1 and Phase 2 OT fiber, managed distribution/access switching and UPS-backed enclosures.
- Reviewed configurations, backup/rollback, device labeling and cutover dependencies.
- Kept cybersecurity authorization and commissioning decisions with responsible people.
Results, Targets & Design Context
- The documented architecture used a 10 Gbps backbone and 13 UPS units.
- The phase-specific execution record states approximately, with the remaining 20% requiring future commissioning.
- Improved isolation, latency and convergence within the supported scope; whole-network final commissioning is not asserted.
