The
RTS-DataPak is manufactured under U.S. patent 7,110,778 and
other patents. The
RTS-DataPak Remote Telemetry System provides fast network connectivity
for automatic meter reading or data acquisition anywhere within digital
cellular coverage areas. The RTS-DataPak can be used for remote reading
of data such as power usage, load management, flow meters of gas transmission
lines, status monitoring of remote data acquisition equipment and
remote control of user equipment.
Modes of operation include
both circuit-switched and packet data transmission. Circuit-switched
capabilities are offered by several GSM and CDMA cellular
carriers. This offers users an easy and affordable transition to
digital cellular service without changing metering or data acquisition
equipment or software.
RTS-DataPak units equipped
with CDMA or GSM cellular transceivers are also capable of packet
data transmission using CDMA 2000 or GPRS including EDGE (EGPRS)
technologies, respectively. When using packet data, the TransTel
Group Access Translation Device or similar equipment may be required
with existing PSTN-based data center equipment.
Software embedded
in the RTS-DataPak processor provides for easy and convenient
programming of the cellular digital transceivers/modems. Online
or remote status inquiries assist in easy operation and maintenance
of the RTS-DataPak. Connection to metering equipment or other
data equipment is available via RJ11 (Model RTS-DataPak-C
or -G) or RS-232 including RS-485 serial ports (Model RTS-DataPak-C/S
or -G/S).
The RTS-DataPak
is supplied in a NEMA 3R enclosure proven in thousands of
RTS-DataPak installations. The housing is only 11 inches high
by 3.5 inches deep and 8 inches wide. The power supply is
highly reliable and can be as large as 50 watts. An optional
internal battery is available for backup operation.
The RTS-DataPak provides
a total and cost-effective solution for remote data transmission
with the convenience of cellular service.
