The RTCU Communication Hub is a managed middleware service that enables reliable and secure bi-directional communication between RTCU devices installed in the field and the application back-end infrastructure.
The RTCU Communication Hub works over any TCP/IP based communication channel, whether it is behind a NAT firewall or a dynamic IP address schema. For full flexibility, it can be installed on-premises or in the cloud.
This powerful communication backbone routes not only application-level data but also supports additional services such as the RTCU Deployment Server and the RTCU IDE development tool.
The RTCU Communication Hub offers several layers of security, including X.509 TLS secured communication with full certificate management. Automatic data compression is supported for lower communication costs and reduced latency.
