Congatec Acquires OT·IT Security Communication Patent…Strengthening aReady.COM Functionality
Patent Number WO2,025,186,118A1, Interoperability Technology Applied Between conga-zones Hypervisor and conga-connect
Congatec has acquired a security communication patent (WO2,025,186,118A1) between operational technology (OT) and IT infrastructure, and applied it to the edge computing solution aReady.COM. This patent was presented as a technical foundation for the embedded building block strategy connecting from computer-on-module (COM) to cloud.
On the 26th, Congatec disclosed the details of the patent acquisition and aReady.COM functionality enhancements.
aReady.COM is an embedded hardware and software solution that integrates IoT connectivity, security, virtualization, and AI on a single platform, designed with a structure that can be immediately applied to applications, the company stated.
This patent addresses the interoperability method between the conga-zones hypervisor running on COM and conga-connect IoT software.
The conga-zones hypervisor isolates the system into partitions, separating the OT data collection area and IT data transmission area through a gateway.
The security barrier between the two virtual machines blocks direct data transfer between IT and OT domains, and the 'data projection' method prevents unauthorized access to OT devices or IT infrastructure from external sources.
Through this, Congatec explained that machines, applications, and communication functions can be integrated into a platform with built-in security from the design stage.
Congatec stated that aReady.COM enables shortened system development periods and total cost of ownership (TCO) reduction.
The company's approach is to provide COM not limited to hardware, but as a pre-integrated building block with security and connectivity.
Andreas Burgbauer, Solutions Manager at Congatec, stated, "This patent demonstrates how conga-zones and conga-connect work in tandem to provide secure data exchange and isolated functional areas for AI, real-time control, and user interfaces."
Konrad Garhofer, Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Congatec, said, "By applying partition isolation, data exchange control, and VPN-based communication technology, we simultaneously implement cost-effective edge architecture and built-in security, establishing a foundation to realize optimized TCO in industrial applications."
