SCADA Telemetry Radios
SCADA Telemetry data is
typically transmitted over a variety of communication
methods including analog/digital two-way radio, dial-up
modem, point-to-point microwave, 3G/4G public or private
cell networks, and Ethernet.
Radios and RTUs make a
powerful combination for data transmission over long
distances, over and around terrain and natural or
manmade obstructions such as mountains/woodlands, or
buildings respectively. Radios last a long time and do
not incur ongoing operating expenses that other data
transmission methods do. Therefore, if radios are suited
for the SCADA application, then they the preferred
choice.
