This document discusses remote access capabilities provided by Nabto that allow vendors to access devices located behind firewalls. Nabto's patented architecture allows direct peer-to-peer connections between devices and users through a simple web address. This eliminates the need for complex firewall configuration and reduces support costs. Nabto also provides lightweight web servers, security, and remote access even without internet connectivity.
2. WHY REMOTE ACCESS?
THE REMOTE ACCESS
POSSIBILITIES GIVE
GREATER PRODUCT VALUE
AND REDUCE INSTALLATION
AND SUPPORT COSTS!

THE USER AND VENDOR WANT TO ACCESS
THE DEVICE BEHIND THE FIREWALL:
- Support in the installation process.
- To perform programming.
- To do remote control.
- In the support process.
- Quality documentation.
- Update of firmware, etc.
- Retrieve data – uptime, oil level, consumption of power,

18. THE VALUE OF NABTO
Create a communication to a pump/device, without configuring the customers firewall.
Most large and small companies accept the Nabto security model.
Secure encrypted solution, same technology as WEB-banks.
Reduce cost in roll-outs, pumps will automatically report to the central server.
Same address on pump, no matter which communication form, Serial, Ethernet, WIFI, GPRS, satellite, etc.
Reduced costs to GPRS, due to a very compact protocol.
Remove costs to private network like Secure Mobile or MPLS.
Use any kind of SIM card worldwide, no need for expensive roaming subscriptions.
Save money on support calls, from customers trying to create communication through firewalls.
Reduce support costs, help can be performed online.
Identify breakdown earlier, due to the “Early Warning” system.
SMS or E-mail notification to user or surveillance, in case alerts.
Also possible to send notification, if power is gone. That is done by monitoring on the keep alive signal from the pump, and if that
is not received, then a notification is sent.
Access the pump from a browser, much nicer and user-friendly interface.
Use Grundfos’ legacy OR new hardware design, the footprint of Nabto is 1 kb.
The Nabto functionality come as pure software, or a small hardware board.
Mobile, iPhone, iPad access to pumps.
One pump, to all markets, language packs are stored centrally.
Faster time to market, and reduced risks, because firmware can be updated online.
More features, and better demo effect to the sales organization.
19. ADVANTAGE WITH NABTO DIRECT CONNECTION
These advantages is obtained, by using Nabto’s patented communication platform, instead of a cloud
based server.
In case of central server downtime, users can still control the device.
A cloud based server cost will increase proportionally with:
Systems sold.
More devices connected: Sensors, actuators and displays.
No need for cloud service in every world region, to deliver an acceptable response time.
The controller, can be based on inexpensive hardware.
One controller to all markets, application, language is stored centrally.
Easy to OEM the controller, application is stored centrally, and the relevant version is selected by the
serial number.
The controller can be accessed locally in a building with no internet access, from a browser, IOS or
Android. For example in brand new buildings, where internet is not installed yet.
Central management of user interface.
Privacy protection.
Minimal latency.
VPN feature.
Built-in device management features.
Minimal firewall knowledge required of end user.
Minimal IP knowledge required by end user.
Built-in notification service (SMS and Email).
Built-in remote firmware update.
