Dispelling the Myths Associated with Spread Spectrum Radio Technology in Electric Power Applications
Every year, the Electric Power industry deploys more Spread Spectrum communication solutions. As recently as five years ago, the use of wireless telemetry in electric power SCADA systems was almost exclusively in the licensed radio realm.
Strategic Implementation of Wireless Technologies
The evolution in wireless technologies has opened the door to a new class of plant automation architecture that offers adopters a significant strategic advantage. Driven by substantial and measurable cost savings in engineering, installation, and logistics, as well as dramatic improvements in the frequency and reliability of field data collection, automation experts and IT professionals are presented with an opportunity to deliver a major, positive impact to their respective company’s bottom line.
Why Wireless Security Continues to Stand the Test of Time
Ironically, as defense has become a progressively more salient concern among Americans, wireless technology continues to play an increasingly vital role in Homeland Security. With the mounting risk of terrorists invading and attacking the United States, there has been increased attention, funding and development committed to meeting these security risks.
Field Automation Networking 101: Remote Well Site Location to Desktop Total Wireless Connectivity
As the automation of field processes advances due to new technologies, the human imagination continues to see new ways to use this technology and push technology providers for more powerful tools.
From Remote Site to Desktop: SCADA Connectivity with No Wires
Fifteen years ago, even the more advanced automation systems seldom supported telemetry. Systems that did employ telemetry offered very slow data throughput and rarely could provide coverage to every automated location, limiting their usefulness.
