In particular, the Water and Wastewater type applications can benefit tremendously for the following reasons:

1. Reduce or eliminate altogether the wiring costs for remote locations. Many times, data gathering involves remote sites (e.g. wells, pumps, storage tanks) scattered over a large area and sometimes with no access to power. In that case the long-distance, high-penetration 900MHz Eurotherm/Action wireless solution can be very effective. These radios can be powered by solar panels and can be provided with NEMA 4x enclosures for protection.

2. Quick and more accurate access to data for decision-makers. Having a wireless solution eliminates the need for manual data-reading and the associated delay required to send someone to read that data Basically the information is provides in almost in real-time, with a high degree of accuracy.

3. Faster installation compared with wired solutions.  The time required to wire a couple monitoring points is much longer that the time required to install a WiModPak point-to-point wireless system (up to 16 I/O) Minimum software settings are necessary. WiModPak devices have built-in RSSI indicators (receiver signal strength indicator) for easy and proper installation.

4. Easy to expand with minimal cost Our radio devices have built-in I/O's but also have modular construction and adding a couple I/O per node requires just adding an expansion module. (up to 6)

5. Secure WiModPak offers a high level of encryption (256bit)

6. Bus Communication capabilities WiModPak radios have Modbus/Profibus compatibility for easy integration with higher level monitoring and control systems if necessary.

7. Improved life-span of monitored assets through better maintenance scheduling Wireless devices can be used to monitor and quickly detect equipment (e.g. pumps) malfunctions and initiate a shut-down procedure, therefore preventing complete and costly damage.
