District Heating

From 20 stations to 2,000: secure, automated, affordable connectivity for a network that won't stop growing.

[ The reality ]

A network that has to scale faster than the team.

District heating networks are growing quickly: more sites, more data, more connectivity, more security expectations. The architecture has to support that growth from the start, or the operating burden compounds with every new station.

Many distributed sites
20 to 2,000+ substations, transfer stations, producers and monitoring points, every one needing secure connectivity.
Tight margins
Enterprise-style WAN platforms are too expensive for the reality of district heating: licensing, hardware refresh, operating overhead.
Regulatory pressure
B3S Fernwärme, the IKT-Minimalstandard and NIS2 demand clean segmentation and documented operations.
[ What narrowin brings ]

One architecture for the whole heat network, and the team to design and run it.

Not separate silos for every new requirement. The products and the services below are the ones that matter for this sector. Each links straight through to the detail.

Products
OT Connect Connect every heat station on one secure design: fiber or 4G/5G, generated and rolled out zero-touch. Explore → Explorer See the OT network you're responsible for: topology, devices and change, discovered, not drawn. Explore → Diode Protect the legacy controllers at a station that can't be patched, inline, no redesign. Explore →
Services
Design & Segmentation A zone architecture for the heat grid, before the rollout builds the problem. See the service → Network Assessment Start from a clear, prioritised picture when the target architecture is still unclear. See the service → Network Automation Generate and standardise site configs, so a small team can run hundreds of stations. See the service →

Build the network before the rollout builds the problem.

District heating networks are scaling now. The architecture decisions made at the start decide whether the environment stays manageable or becomes a permanent operating burden.
