The AB Micro MT range provides an unparalleled level of remotely programmable PLC functionality, combined with embedded GPRS connectivity, all in one out of the box package.
M2M telemetry is basically device to device (or machine to machine), wireless communication.
Estimates of current market size vary between $500 and $1billion, but there is a consensus that over the next 5-year period this emerging sector will grow to anything up to $200 billion.
Imagine every piece of equipment/machinery that requires a human visit to inspect, maintain, replenish, or to download stored data.
Now imagine that equipment able to communicate its condition, fault alarms, maintenance requirement, replenishment level, or to transmit data readings, as well as receive instructions, all automatically, remotely and wirelessly.
The winners will be organisations who can visualise the new opportunities this technology can bring, represented in savings and efficiencies in clients and new services and revenues from providers.
The AB Micro MT range from QHi Systems provides an unparalleled level of remotely programmable PLC functionality, combined with embedded GPRS connectivity, all in one out of the box package.
These devices can assist both integrators and clients to more easily and cost effectively, achieve their wireless data transfer opportunities.
With up to 65,000 MT devices able to be combined within a single network, it is thus suitable from single device applications up to large scale global organisations, with numerous remote equipment, over a wide geographic area.
As a primary partner status company with Vodafone, QHi is also able to provide the data SIM card and APN dedicated cell network residing within the global Vodafone cell infrastructure, over which the data traffic will be sent.
This enables integrators to buy a total solution package, which can be then easily configured for individual application requirements.
QHi will be running a series of M2M seminars in early 2006 to further expand on M2M technology use, and to demonstrate the versatility of this unique range of devices and how they can assist in realising the potential of this fast growing market.
