How To Handshake: The OT Networking Series
How to Handshake is a new series from Optigo Networks that goes beyond the manual. Hosted by Optigo Networks’ Ping Yao and Ryan LaFlamme, we’re bringing together the brightest minds in OT from around the globe to talk shop, swap stories, and solve the industry's biggest connectivity headaches. Whether we’re deep-diving into a complex BACnet Q&A or hosting a panel on the future of building automation, we focus on the connection—between devices, between protocols, and between the people who build them.

Computing at the edge isn't a new concept, but it's probably not one facility managers and SIs have grappled with... yet. Ping and Ryan are joined this week by Andrew Rodgers, Co-Founder at ACE IoT, and Aaron Brondrum, Sr. Director of Business Development at Neeve, to talk about the reality of edge computing design in OT networks.
Neeve and ACE take two different approaches to edge operations, but does that mean they disag...
Ping and Ryan are joined this week by Fred Gordy from KMC Controls, and James Roberts of Kelso Building Service to talk real cybersecurity for OT networks.

How to Handshake Ep. 6 — Advanced analytics and predictive maintenance for building automation systems. With Justin Carter and Rudy Bohince.

Our guests are Justin Carter, Controls Techn...

On this week's show, Jim Meacham from Altura Associates and Douglas Plumley from Dartmouth College are here to talk about what actually happens when IT and OT teams are told to work together. Where do they misunderstand each other on day one? Who owns what when a controller drops off the network at 11 p.m. on a Saturday?
And when IT security and OT security want opposite things from the same network, how do you write a poli...
On this week's show…Nate Benes from the University of Nebraska joins Ping and I to break down BACnet/SC — is it really the next step in OT networking, should you be getting ready to migrate, and are your BBMDs headed for the recycle bin?
We get into the hub-and-spoke model, what zero trust actually looks like when the "user" is a VAV controller, certificates and who should hold the keys, how SC and BACnet/IP co...

On this week's show… Saheel Chandrani from PingCx and Matt Miller of Fred Williams join Ping and I to dig into what happens after the commissioning team packs up and leaves. For a lot of people in this industry, that's the moment the real work begins—and the moment most buildings start to drift.
