Scada uses radio to bridge the gap

Abstract

Describes how radio telemetry can interface with process control systems such as supervisory control and data acquisition [SCADA] and distributed control systems [DCS] greatly increasing their power and efficiency. Outlines the basis of radio telemetry, the behaviour of electromagnetic waves, frequency and wavelengths. Uses the water industry as an example of the use of a large scale and sophisticated SCADA system to provide date collection and control links over a large area. Concludes that the versatility of radio telemetry coupled with its cost‐effectiveness means that this technology can help to expand and improve communications in an increasing number of industries.
