Measuring; DGPS and environment

There is no such thing as having too much information. In an age when having up-to-date, reliable information is vital, SATELLINE modems provide an easily installed solution. Used world wide in a variety of DGPS, remote measurement, control and interrogation applications, many companies have come to depend on SATEL products.

Collect information

The weather is the number one talking point in the world, so information needs to be constantly gathered, distributed and systems updated. Our environment is being measured by thousands of monitoring stations. Monitoring requirements also vary greatly, from the quality of water or air to weather conditions and natural phenomenon. More often than not these monitoring stations are located in remote, difficult places where normal connections are impossible to set up. Radio modems have low power consumption and can transfer data over long distances, making them an excellent choice for data transfer and controlling independent measuring stations.

Meter reading

Measuring information is also needed locally. One of the more common applications is the remote reading of electric meters, this enables the monitoring of electricity consumption in real-time. In the near future, several countries are going to adopt new policies regarding electricity distribution. The most notable change will be that customers are going to be charged for precise electricity consumption instead of an approximate amount. This calls for reliable and flexible data transfer networks without operator expenses, a perfect application for SATELLINE radio modems.

Run your systems not your personnel

Changing the settings of an application is more comfortably done from an office than on-site. This is why bi-directional radio modem networks are well suited for the remote control of equipment in addition to just monitoring. For example several ski resorts use applications that measure the amount of snow on the slopes. If the snow cover is melting the application will switch on the snow blowers. Another common application is street lighting. By using a centralized control system, the lighting can be switched on or off automatically or simply adjusted to suit the conditions.

Bulletproof communications

SATEL products are renowned for their reliability in demanding conditions. As demonstrated by the number of international armies who use radio modems to control moving targets in live fire exercises. The remotely controlled targets can be placed anywhere on the range according to the scenario, as they are not hampered by cables. In anti-aircraft exercises, the radio modems relay strike information from the target, based on air pressure changes. With these applications rugged manufacture and reliable connections are vital.

Transferring DGPS data

In real-time DGPS and RTK the data is transmitted from the base GPS receiver situated in a known position to the rover GPS receiver. The rover GPS receiver takes the base data into account in order to calculate its own position in centimeter accurately.

SATELLINE Radio modems provide wireless communication between the GPS base station and the GPS rover station. The reference, base, station sends position corrections data to the rover once a second.
