Wireless data radios can be used for diverse applications such as SCADA and wireless telemetry. Supervisory Control and Data acquisition or SCADA applications use wireless data radios in order to monitor and control remote applications and assets. In order to achieve this process, a SCADA system must contain a remoter terminal unit or RTU, a system control, and a control program. These components are then used with wireless data radios to communicate with one another and ensure that they are providing long-range coverage and accuracy to the user. When using a wireless data radio with SCADA applications or specifically designed SCADA data radios, users will also be able to experience the benefits of easy configuration, programmability, remote status monitoring, and remote “ping” processes.

Wireless data radios can also be used with wireless telemetry applications. Wireless telemetry is the process in which signal transmission occurs without the installation of a physical electric or fiber-optic cable. Three different types of wireless telemetry are commonly used in various industries: point to point telemetry, directed telemetry, and diffuse telemetry. The use of wireless data radios has been found to enhance this application and all of its types. This is because the use of wireless data radio technology along with wireless telemetry allows the application to become more reliable, productive, and efficient for the user. When using wireless telemetry along with wireless data radios, the users will experience the benefits of low rates of data and control inaccuracy, improved frequency modulation, programmability, and long-range coverage.

Communication with data radios and SCADA and wireless telemetry applications has never been simpler with Raveon Technologies’ wireless products. The company’s M7s Series Wireless Modems have proven to be an ideal selection for those wishing to use SCADA or telemetry applications in their businesses. This product features ultra fast T-R switching time, store-and-forward repeater capabilities, and remote “Ping” capabilities. Raveon Technologies also offers its current and potential clients the use of the Raveon’s RV-M5 FireLine series of data radio modems. These wireless data radio modems feature high-speed FCC refarming technology that is perfect for telemetry, remote control, GPS tracking, and transmitting wireless data.
