Water

Radio modems are used widely for the remote control and monitoring of waterworks and sewage processing plants. Since these installations are often in remote locations or cover a large area, the data network needs to be flexible, easy to extend and above all reliable. In water distribution plants, interruptions must be kept to a minimum, and problems addressed instantly. This puts additional pressure on the reliability and integrity on the monitoring and control network. With SATEL radio modems, real-time monitoring networks can be configured and expanded according to demand. The network may cover, for example, pumping stations, water reservoirs and distribution substations. SATEL modems are also used to monitor water usage, flow or other parameters:

• Monitoring of the flow and pressure of the water system
• Temperature depended irrigation for farming (agriculture)
• Overflow gate control
• Monitoring of leaks in water distribution systems
• Remote control of pumping stations
