Typical Modem SCADA Applications
In remote settings or difficult-to-access sites, acquiring and
responding to process control and alarm data can be
challenging and costly. For both system integrators and
OEMs, the QUALCOMM Globalstar GSP-1620 Satellite Data
Modem provides real-time, low cost, bi-directional data
communication solution applications in remote locations for
fixed or mobile use.
The GSP-1620 modem lets you retrieve data automatically
from remote sites. Unmanned sensors connected to the
GSP-1620 modem can monitor remote operations and initiate
alert notifications.
Table 1-1 lists some typical Remote Monitoring and
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
applications.
Figure 1-1 depicts a typical use of the GSP-1620 modem for a
SCADA application using packet data.
