Remote Telemetry Data Collection

Now you can collect data from almost any part of the country

Obtaining vital data from telemetry at a remote location has traditionally been done via a land based cable solution. This is of course limited by the avaliability of cable data connections.

Where there was no telephone connection available due to the site's remoteness, a mobile telephone based solution (eg, 3G, etc) has sometimes been employed. This too has it limitations - we all know how limited the mobile phone network coverage is!

Now there is an extremely reliable solution for almost all telemetry sites. ANT has chosen to utilise geostationary Satellites for their telemetry networks.

Unlike “Low Earth Orbiting” satellites, once a line of sight path to the Satellite has been established, it becomes a permanent, fixed path that does not need to be re-established for each data session. There is no Satellite handover process to go awry, and unlike traditional phone based systems, there is no underground cables to be cut or damaged, and the remoteness of the collection point is no longer an issue.

To reduce power consumption at the remote location, a script can be written for most loggers that will power the Satellite system on every hour(or other period as required) for a period of time long enough to send the required data and potentially download further instructions. It can also be programmed to open and close gates, valves etc , or switch on a camera and transmit a photograph, on command.

ANT's satellite network covers all of Australia and New Zealand and has proven to be extremely reliable, suffering less than 2 hours of unplanned outage time during the last 18 months.

Australian Nomad Technologies(ANT) has developed a VSat satellite system that can be either portable or fixed. ANT has developed this system to be deployed, either by ANT's installers ,or by the customer.

A training DVD is supplied with the kit, and further training can be arranged by ANT at the customer's preferred location. Australian Nomad Technologies provides both portable and fixed Satellite Broadband services.

Please see the plans page to see just how economical the ANT remote telemetry solution is.

 

Remoteness is no longer a factor - Telemetry Data and remote control ANYWHERE with ANT Satellite.
