OUR INDUSTRIES

Critical Infrastructure Computing and Networking

Recab is the Nordic partner for computing and communication in critical infrastructure. From energy and water systems to transport and public safety, our rugged platforms deliver continuous operation, cybersecurity and long lifecycle performance in environments where downtime is not an option.

About Recab in Critical Infrastructure

Recab supplies rugged computing and communication platforms for demanding environments in the energy, water, transport and safety sectors. Designed for applications where reliability, security and long lifecycle performance are critical, our solutions help maintain operations and protect people and assets. The portfolio includes railway computers to EN 50155 and EN 45545, managed switches and DIN rail network switches, industrial firewalls and cybersecurity platforms, industrial routers, panel PCs and remote I/O, with advanced communication, integrated cybersecurity and modular designs for long-term deployment.

Engineered for essential Infrastructure Environments

Modern society depends on critical infrastructure that must operate reliably at all times. From power generation and water treatment to transportation, telecommunications and public safety, these systems form the foundation of everyday life. When they stop functioning, the impact is immediate, affecting people, communities and essential services.

Our Systems Are Used In:

Recab provides reliable computing and communication platforms that support critical operations and ensure continuous functionality across essential sectors.

These systems maintain the flow of power, information and safety that modern society depends on. Typical installations include DIN rail managed and unmanaged switches in substation cabinets, PROFINET firewalls segmenting operational networks, fanless DIN rail embedded computers at remote sites, and WLAN access points along railway lines. Recab supplies these across the Nordics, with integration and verification at our ESD-protected integration centre in Sweden.

Key Capabilities & Compliance Standards

Let’s break down the most common standards and requirements for the critical infrastructure market, highlighting cybersecurity and regulatory compliance, environmental resilience, communication reliability, and long lifecycle performance for essential systems

EN 61000 Series

EMC immunity and emission compliance for electrical and industrial environments.

EN 62368-1

Safety requirements for information technology, audiovisual and industrial equipment.

IEC 61850-3

Communication networks and systems in substations.

IEEE 1613

Environmental and electrical standards for communication equipment used in power substations.

EN 50155

Railway standard covering temperature, vibration, shock, voltage fluctuations and EMC for rolling stock applications.

E-Mark / ISO 16750

Vehicle certification for electronic equipment in transport and roadside installations.

Cybersecurity and Regulatory Compliance (CRA, NIS2)

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and NIS2 directive introduce requirements for cybersecurity risk management, vulnerability handling and secure software lifecycle. Equipment used in critical infrastructure must support compliance with these frameworks through secure design, firmware integrity and long-term update capability.

Ingress Protection (IP65/IP67)

Ensures protection against dust and water for outdoor or exposed equipment.

Lifecycle and Serviceability

Industrial-grade components and long-term availability of hardware and compatible software are important. Modular and service-friendly designs simplify maintenance and upgrades.

Performance and Connectivity

Support for real-time communication through redundant Ethernet, fiber or serial connections. Cybersecurity functions such as access control, encryption and secure boot protect against unauthorized access. Edge computing capabilities enable local data processing, analytics and control for improved system efficiency.

Certified and audited Standards

Recab operates ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified quality and environmental management systems, audited regularly, and maintains a conflict minerals policy. As part of the Addtech Group we follow the UN Global Compact and Science Based Targets. See our ISO certificate.
