Low power radio communicator for data transmission
Jekyll Electronic Technology launch new low power radio communicator as part of its KEE range of telecommunication products and systems.
A simple and straight-forward exchange when the old modems need replacing means money can be saved as no line rental will be required and the process can be rolled out gradually.
Annual fixed cost savings can be as high as 60%.
Innovations in GSM modem technology means that the modems are now small enough to fit under the terminal cover of a typical utility meter for protection against tampering.
The device draws very little host power to operate (typically 10 milliwatts operational, and 5 microAmps standby).
Since the modems are compatible with fixed line modems, users can incorporate the Mobile into their existing telemetry set-up gradually, without having to make any changes to host equipment.
Data ports are compatible with both logic or RS232 signal levels, which provides a straightforward 'plug-and-play' installation with simple and flexible interfacing.
This makes mobile remote monitoring extremely cost-effective for any user.
Furthermore, in today's high security climate, close energy monitoring will enable organisations in vulnerable areas to safeguard their energy supplies and keep a tight grip on usage.
The Telemodem2 Mobile can be used to alert of any abnormal energy usage behaviour indicative of illegal tapping events.
Jekyll Electronic Technology is the UK leader in 'zero power' telemetry equipment, and remains the only true manufacturer of line powered modem technology.
Company engineers draw from years of applications expertise to pre-configure units according to a particular specification.
