The Challenge
First Nations Home Finance Corporation (FNHF) is a full-service mortgage banker funding thousands of individual home loan mortgages annually. The company has nine branch offices and over 100 staff members in various cities throughout Southern California, and also does business in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. To support its geographically dispersed team, FNHF launched an enterprise cloud network to provide secure access for processing loan applications. However, the company's first SIP trunk provider had several limitations that negatively impacted the reliability and quality of service the company expected and required. As a result, FNHF needed to find a new communications partner with a proven track record of providing secure, reliable SIP trunking services.
The Solution
First Nations created a wish list of five must-have characteristics for a new SIP trunking provider: redundancies with front end peer points and back end SIP trunks, ability to function on basic Internet services (non-mpls circuits), high level of reliability, high quality voice and fax services with compression, and cost effectiveness. After analyzing proposals from traditional telcos and other SIP trunking providers, they discovered IntelePeer’s “SIP Trunking 101” white paper and found that IntelePeer’s philosophy on Unified Communications and its technical capabilities aligned with their wish list. First Nations selected IntelePeer’s CoreCloud™ SIP Trunking services with a redundant trunk for added reliability. IntelePeer’s team worked quickly to seamlessly port FNHF’s numbers and unravel any issues with the various telcos involved, keeping things on schedule and the transition smooth.

Remote Monitoring and Control for a Windmill Generator
As concerns over global warming continue to grow, green technologies are becoming increasingly popular. Wind turbine companies provide an excellent alternative to burning fossil fuels by harnessing kinetic energy from the wind and converting it into electricity. A typical wind farm may include over 80 wind turbines so efficient and reliable networks to manage and control these installations are imperative. Each wind turbine includes a generator and a variety of serial components such as a water cooler, high voltage transformer, ultrasonic wind sensors, yaw gear, blade bearing, pitch cylinder, and hub controller. All of these components are controlled by a PLC and communicate with the ground host. Due to the total integration of these devices into an Ethernet network, one of our customers in the wind turbine industry needed a serial-to-Ethernet solution that can operate reliably for years without interruption.

Using SNMP for a Ethernet-Based Home Automation System
A startup company was developing a product which provides service partners with an integrated e-services platform that allows customers to remotely monitor and control devices in their home or business. In order to complete their project, the startup needed a control system that could monitor and control the many different devices used by their potential customers, preferably with an open protocol for greater flexibility. SNMP was their first choice, as it is commonly used and well understood in the IT field. The next step was to choose an I/O server to connect to the sensors in a home automation system. System Requirements - Open Ethernet-based procotol - SNMP protocol for I/O control - Compact size to save space - Long-term support and services

Boiler Control System for Plastic Manufacturing Applications
Factory automation applications must be equipped to handle and monitor the myriads of information from attached devices. For plastic manufacturing applications, the boiler control system plays a critical role by gathering and regulating information to ensure production is accurate and smooth. In this particular case, the customer combines eight subsystems that include power meters, water meters, alarm output, displays, and I/O status to be controlled by several intelligent controllers with Modbus RTU interface. The Modbus TCP protocol is used for this application due to the distance. System Requirements: • Modbus serial to Modbus TCP translation • Multiple slaves/masters support • Automatic Modbus TCP response time detection
