Industry challenges Solution
With the rapid pace of urbanization around the ABB Network Manager provides users with a
world, many cities are stepping up to proactively single, unified view of the whole electrical network,
address the risks and impacts of climate change. the electrical vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure,
The electrification of public transportation has and the EVs in operation. The new modern user
been identified as one of the key actions that can interface delivers enhanced situational awareness
help meet global targets for climate action. and advanced applications, giving operators
absolute control of their infrastructure and full
confidence in their operations.

Network Manager is a real-time, cyber-secure

platform for a wide range of control and
monitoring applications. The solution is designed
for mission-critical applications that demand high
performance, reliability and availability, from power
generation, transmission and distribution
networks, to electrical systems for e-buses,
railways and airports. It supports systems of all
sizes, from city bus/charging infrastructure to
country-sized networks with millions of devices
and high volumes of data throughput.
