Secure Edge Computing for Critical Infrastructure
Wireless-ready, ruggedised Arm-based computers designed for the demands of distributed industrial environments — from BESS sites and substations to remote field operations.
The Edge Computing Challenge in OT Environments
As industrial operations become more distributed, the demands on edge computing grow more complex. Remote substations, BESS installations, mining operations, and transport networks all require computing platforms that can collect, process, and transmit data reliably — in harsh conditions, with limited physical access, and under increasing cybersecurity scrutiny.
The challenge is finding a platform that delivers on all fronts: ruggedised hardware that withstands temperature extremes and vibration, wireless connectivity that maintains uptime across cellular and Wi-Fi failover, a secure operating system that meets IEC 62443 compliance requirements, and a long-term support model that matches the lifecycle of the assets it serves.
Off-the-shelf single-board computers and consumer-grade Linux platforms struggle here. They lack the operational stability, security compliance, and long-term vendor support that critical infrastructure demands. And when a device fails at a remote site, the cost isn’t just the hardware — it’s the truck roll, the downtime, and the data gap.
Purpose-Built for the Industrial Edge
The Moxa UC Series is a family of 64-bit Arm-based industrial computers designed specifically for distributed OT and IIoT applications. Unlike general-purpose embedded platforms, the UC Series combines certified ruggedised hardware with Moxa Industrial Linux (MIL) — a Debian-based operating system engineered for long-term security, operational stability, and simplified device management.
Each model in the UC Series is built around Arm Cortex processors with built-in wireless connectivity options (5G, LTE, Wi-Fi 6/6E), hazardous location certifications (ATEX Zone 2, CID2), and a crash-free overlay filesystem that protects against data loss during power interruptions.
The UC-8200 Series holds the distinction of being the first industrial computer to achieve IEC 62443-4-2 Security Level 2 certification — a meaningful differentiator for operators and integrators working in environments where cybersecurity compliance is non-negotiable.

Where the UC Series Is Deployed
The UC Series is purpose-built for distributed environments where reliable computing, wireless connectivity, and long-term maintainability are non-negotiable.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
Edge computing at BESS sites supports energy management system (EMS) integration, real-time monitoring of battery arrays, and communication between inverters, BMS, and SCADA platforms. The UC Series provides the ruggedised, wireless-enabled compute platform needed at distributed and often unmanned energy storage installations.

Renewable Energy and Solar
Solar tracking systems, inverter monitoring, and site-wide data aggregation all require compact, reliable edge computing with cellular backhaul. The UC Series handles data acquisition and protocol conversion in outdoor environments exposed to temperature extremes and dust.
Transport and Fleet Infrastructure
On-board computing for smart bus and fleet management applications, passenger information systems, and depot network connectivity. ATEX and CID2 certifications make the UC Series suitable for transport environments with specific hazardous area requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the UC Series models?
The five UC Series models — UC-4400A, UC-3400A, UC-2200A, UC-1200A, and UC-8200 — differ primarily in processor performance, wireless connectivity options, and I/O configuration. The UC-4400A is the highest-performance model with 5G and Wi-Fi 6E support, while the UC-8200 is optimised for applications prioritising certified IEC 62443-4-2 compliance. All models run Moxa Industrial Linux and share the same management tooling. Our engineering team can help you identify the right model for your specific application.
Are the UC Series computers suitable for hazardous locations?
Yes. The UC-3400A, UC-2200A, UC-1200A, and UC-8200 all carry CID2 and ATEX Zone 2 certifications for deployment in hazardous areas. The UC-4400A can be certified upon request. All models carry RCM approval for the Australian market.
How does Moxa Industrial Linux compare to standard Ubuntu or Raspberry Pi OS?
MIL is built on Debian, so the development environment will be familiar to anyone working with Ubuntu or Raspberry Pi. The key differences are operational: MIL includes a crash-free overlay filesystem, integrated network failover management, 10-year security patching, and compliance with IEC 62443-4-2 security requirements. It’s designed for deployments where you need the device to run reliably for a decade, not just through a prototype cycle.
Can Madison Technologies pre-configure UC Series devices before delivery?
Yes. We offer pre-configuration and pre-staging services so devices arrive ready for deployment. This includes network settings, security configuration, application loading, and testing — reducing on-site commissioning time and integration risk.
