Plextek has designed a telemetry system for remote monitoring and metering applications 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. According to Plextex (R), 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.
