ABOUT L2IQ

What does L2iQ stand for and what does the name mean?

L2iQ stands for Layer 2 Intelligence. The name is drawn from the “Layer 2” level of network architecture the layer where real-world operational signals, devices and infrastructure actually communicate. It’s the layer where data becomes action. The founders chose it to reflect their core belief: true operational intelligence doesn’t live in boardroom theory, it lives in the field, at the interface between technology and physical assets. L2iQ was created to bring clarity, rigour and smart engineering to that critical layer.

What does L2iQ do?

L2iQ is an Australian-owned specialist Operational Technology (OT) company. Operational Technology refers to the hardware and software systems that monitor and control physical devices, processes and infrastructure in the real world — think SCADA systems controlling a rail network, radio communications on a light rail vehicle, or CCTV and access control at a power substation. This is fundamentally different from corporate IT, which manages data and business applications. L2iQ exists specifically in the OT space, helping OEMs, Contractors, EPCs and Operators design, integrate, install and maintain these operational systems for complex and critical infrastructure programmes across rail, roads, renewables, water, defence and aviation.
