Data Acquisition & Telemetry


Flexible radio technology

June 2008 Data Acquisition & Telemetry

SATEL’s radio modems are ideal for wireless realtime data transfer in everything from simple point-to-point connections to multipoint solutions utilising thousands of modems.

With a range of up to tens of kilometres, which can be increased by using repeater stations, setting up a reliable, flexible, and operator-free radio network is easy and cost-effective.

The units are used in a very wide range of applications – from monitoring and control applications at airports to internal data transfer networks at industrial plants and in urban environments for monitoring and controlling traffic flows. SATELLINE radio modems have proved very effective for creating citywide alarm transfer networks and traffic monitoring systems, to enable public transport systems to run more smoothly and provide accurate timetable information at bus stops.

The realtime positioning made possible by SATELLINE radio modems means that data can also be relayed from cargo containers at terminals or on the road to enhance the operation of harbours, airports, and large industrial warehouses. The radio modems are also ideal for controlling buoy and channel lights and beacons at busy ports 24/7, and can send status and diagnostics data to a control centre, helping ensure that port authorities remain on top of their systems and can repair malfunctions rapidly.

Radio modems equipped with an auxiliary power supply can be very useful in the energy sector too, should conventional networks fail, and SATELLINE-powered systems are being used in increasing numbers for grid monitoring, automated meter reading, and the remote monitoring of wind farms. Radio modem-based remote control and monitoring is also a growing feature of operations at modern waterworks and wastewater treatment plants.
