Ultra narrowband telemetry system enables
long range data transmission at low power
Ideal for remote monitoring and metering applications
CTIA Wireless 2005, Stand 671
Cambridge, 14 March 2005: Plextek has designed a telemetry system
that allows data to be transmitted over long distances at low power.
Using an ultra narrowband radio technique the system is ideal for use
in a 'one to many' remote monitoring, control or metering network spanning
an area of several square miles and incorporating many smaller and cheaper
outstations. It offers a proven design that reduces the time to market
and design costs of the overall network.
The ability to transmit data over long range distances at low power
is significant as radio regulations limit the maximum power for a transmission.
Compared with other methods, this radio technique requires less power
to transmit data over a set distance and therefore enables a battery-powered
application to last longer. As a result, such telemetry system is particularly
suitable for networks in which small amounts of data are transmitted,
such as domestic gas and electricity metering, remote vending machines
and remote sensors in industrial plants.
The telemetry system will be displayed on the Plextek stand (671) at
CTIA Wireless 2005 in New Orleans, USA from 14-16 March.
