CSD technology disappears; what are the implications?

In the very near future, the dial-up technology Circuit Switched Data will no longer be supported. KPN will start the phase-out as early as 1 January 2021 and other providers will follow in the foreseeable future.

• On 01-01-2021 KPN will stop CSD data
• On 01-01-2022, KPN will stop 3G

Both services relate directly to older communication equipment at Landustrie installations. Your ground and pumping systems in which this CSD technique is used then lose connection to the network.

CSD data with GSM modems:
Wherever GSM modems are used, such as Landy-Line, Landy-Net and I/O-Controllers, the ability to communicate with the current GSM modems is lost. (Wavecom, Genpro, Westermo GSM modems). This will also affect certain Adesys GSM modems over PLC installations.

3G Routers:
All installations currently containing a 3G Router will revert to 2G on 01-01-2022. Vodafone has already stopped doing this. This means that the communication speed/coverage will drop drastically and there may be communication problems in installations with this type of router.

Especially the loss of functionality of CSD data, forces our customers to make a choice for another communication solution in the short term.

If you want to be prepared well in time and have the right hardware, contact our Pumps & Pumping Sales Team. We will be happy to clarify for you what the consequences of this phasing out will be for you and offer a suitable solution.

The pumping station, built in the year 2000, is equipped with dry mounted pumps and has a capacity of 1200 m3/h. Renovation is now required to apply the latest techniques in the field of pumping. To this end, not only is the electromechanical installation of the pumping station being renewed, but structural modifications are also required.

Completing work on Groningen pumping stations

Almost a year after signing the contract, work is now being completed on the last of the nine pumping stations. The sewerage pumping station at Bedum will be fitted with new pumps with associated pipework and controls.

Renovation of Tjuchem screw pumping station

Commissioned by the Hunze en Aa's Water Board, Landustrie is carrying out the overhaul of the Wold en Weer pumping station in Tjuchem. The more than 40-year-old screw pump, delivered at the time by third parties, is now being repaired in Sneek. Earlier, Landustrie also repaired the other screw pump (2 in total).

Hydroelectric power station opening

Last Saturday, the Netherlands' first cooperative hydropower plant was festively opened. Amid great interest, the children's mayor and the youth water digger activated the hydropower auger. After the official part, there was an open house for all interested parties. A special Dommelstroom app was developed for the plant, which provides real-time insight into energy production.

Screw applied in silos

For ESI Eurosilo at Purmerend, Landustrie has delivered a total of 35 pieces of fearsome-looking jacks, or transport screws, in 2019 and 2020. A striking feature of the jacks is the serrated shoring edge and the material used, namely Creusabro 4800.
