OTI is a U.S.-based systems integrator that connects building systems to protect data, inform business decisions, create efficiencies and enhance user experience.

### Challenge

OTI is currently integrating a series of new building constructions in Mexico City for an ambitious developer and property manager. Most advanced controls today are IP-connected, and those IP addresses change frequently. Having dedicated public IP addresses in Mexico is expensive, typically upwards of $500 per month. And changing IP addresses can be difficult for Cisco-type IT systems to handle. Adding a layer of complication, since OTI is a U.S.-based company, it needed secure, remote access to all of the building's control systems.

### Solution

To solve the security and connectivity issues the OTI team came up against in Mexico City, the MSIs utilized various TOSIBOX® products.

The [TOSIBOX](https://www.tosibox.com/for-management-hub)[® HUB](https://www.tosibox.com/for-management-hub) (formerly [Virtual Central Lock)](https://www.tosibox.com/for-management-tosibox-virtual-central-lock) is installed in OTI's cloud environment to provide the highest level of secure VPN access for building data to transfer to the Tier 4 data center, which contains distributed servers for redundancy, failover and additional security measures. The TOSIBOX® Virtual Central Lock also allows for agility and scalability as building data grows with building occupancy.

Also in the Mexico City building projects, OTI is using TOSIBOX® Lock 200s as endpoints for secure remote connections. Devices throughout the integrated building management system connect into the Lock 200s and can then be securely accessed over the Internet through a safe VPN.

Finally, TOSIBOX® Key 200s are used to complete the secure cycle of connection between building automation devices, computers and data centers.

### Security

In addition to the ease of use, Tosibox provides award-winning cyber security for OTI and their customers at a level previously unseen in the building automation industry. From end-to-end communication to two-factor authentication, no fixed or public IP address and the latest encryption technology, Tosibox provides a complete cyber security solution for the OTI customer base. Finally, BAS integrators can connect buildings with cyber-security confidence and ease.

### Benefits

- Routine maintenance can now be done remotely, reducing transportation costs of sending OTI technicians to Mexico City.
- OTI is providing the most secure solution available to clients.
- Network availability and up-time has been excellent.
