It consists of the OT network, that is the operational technology network, that's inside the product. The IT network, or information technology network, that takes the data to the cloud, the backhaul which is the uplink, the internet, and the product cloud, which is a private computing resource for the product. However, the network fabric is more than just connectivity. It's called fabric but in fact, it's a distributed computing platform as well as networking. It's provides computing and storing.

Especially in the operational technology network, these protocols have evolved…
