Telemetry
Solutions
Because of its sweeping advantages in a number of industrial applications,
wireless telemetry is one of today's fastest growing wireless technologies.
Basically, wireless telemetry uses either terrestrial (eg. GSM/GPRS)
or satellite-based networks for machine-to-machine or machine-to-person
communications that immediately notify operators of changing conditions.
With wireless Telemetry, your machines can be set to call you, so
you don't have to call on them. It's the effective way to collect
information, set parameters, receive indications of unusual situations
or take care of on-line transactions on countless machines such
as elevators, vending machines, automatic metering. As a result,
your business becomes more effective. Customer service is improved.
And practically limitless opportunities are created.
Enterprises use wireless telemetry for countless applications. A
few examples include monitoring remote operations, tracking and
managing fleet vehicles or notifying emergency personnel when a
lone worker needs medical assistance. Used in conjunction with temperature
sensors, wireless telemetry can automatically signal a company of
malfunctioning equipment in a remote location before the equipment
overheats. That way, the company can shut down problematic equipment
or turn on emergency equipment.
Other telemetry devices can track mobile assets using Global Positioning
System (GPS) satellites and two-way data communication. For example,
a truck fleet operator can monitor a truck's location, maintain
two-way communication with the driver and monitor the truck's engine
and trailer refrigeration unit – all at the same time. The possibilities
for better management and efficiencies are virtually unlimited.
WatchLink GSM provide wireless telemetry solutions
to customers in utilities, agriculture, water and wastewater, trucking
and fleet management, construction, oil and gas, rail transportation,
vending and many other industries. Our products can be used worldwide
because they use the global GSM/GPRS standard to communicate over
wireless.

What is M2M ?
There are millions of machines around us - vending machines, elevators,
pumps and meters, traffic lights... To keep going, most of them
need to be monitored and supervised, have information collected,
parameters set and online transactions conducted. Communication
is needed between systems, devices and individuals. That is what
M2M stands for ; machine-to-machine, mobile-to-machine and machine-to-mobile.
Wireless technology is already managing data transmission and
connection to the Internet. So it makes sense to put it to work
in machines. The M2M business is in a phase of fast growth and
M2M solutions are fast becoming a part of many companies' everyday
life. GSM networks are used worldwide and so it makes sense to
harness these networks for remote Telemetry applications. Applications
can be found in almost any segment or environment such as ;
- Security
- Automatic meter reading
- Vending machines
- Elevators and escalators
- Process control
- Asset tracking
- Road traffic information
- Traffic control systems
- Environmental Monitoring
- Water treatment
- Agriculture
- Remote site monitoring
- Access control

The WatchLink GSM WL-30 Pod shown above with
the possibility to control devices and query data from them remotely,
such as at home, at the office, or while on vacation. The compact
sized Pod can be integrated with and installed in any industrial
devices to provide marked improvements in productivity. These
include air conditioners, security panels, access readers, or
any household equipment for making automation solutions.
Together with optional GPS support, the Pod can improve managing
transport vehicles and plant equipment. Because of its diverse
range of interface connectors, the WL-30 Pod can be easily expanded
to create other new products.
