Benefits of GPRS communications Print E-mail

GPRS utilises the same communications transmission network as GSM. It has been designed for transmitting data as opposed to voice calls and is widely used for applications such as MMS picture messaging, mobile internet browsing and increasingly with M2M machine-to-machine data communications. The main benefits of GPRS connectivity are :-

  • Lower service charges than GSM based on monthly data volumes

  • Collecting data from Isodaq outstations normally falls within the minimum 1Mb per month tariff

  • International-standard communications protocol enabling Isodaq units to be installed almost anywhere in the world

  • No SCADA or telemetry server or modems required to capture data

  • Data collected via internet using industry standard TCP/IP protocols

  • Use of timeview.net application (up to 1Mb limit) supplied with every Isodaq GPRS telemetry logger

  • Routine daily interval or more frequent event-activated data collection i.e 1 hour independent of logging/measurement interval.

  • Optional email alarm message forwarding with SMS message functions (Timeview Telemetry option)

  • Optional remote logger-set-up and sensor configuration (Timeview Telemetry option).
