NEC Tech and Astra Group have entered into a technological partnership agreement. The collaboration aims to develop domestic data collection and transmission devices equipped with information security features specifically for critical information infrastructure in the power sector.
The project involves creating hardware for automated process control systems. The initiative aligns with Russian presidential decrees focused on strengthening technological sovereignty and ensuring information security within the country.
NEC Tech will utilize Astra Linux Embedded software to enhance its communication and measurement devices. This integration is intended to provide stability and security for equipment deployed at major energy companies, including Inter RAO, Rosseti, RusHydro, and Rosenergoatom.
Dmitry Zaretsky, CEO of NEC Tech, and Mikhail Gellerman, Director of Operating Systems at Astra Group, signed the agreement. Both companies emphasize that this partnership will facilitate the development of new joint projects and improve the independence of complex industrial solutions.
