Jekyll now offers SIM cards in telemetry package
Jekyll can now offer its customers a complete telemetry package including SIM cards and bespoke tariffs and contract terms to suit the wide range of applications for which its solutions are used.
Small enough to fit under the terminal cover of a typical electricity meter, it is ideal for Automatic Meter Reading in multi-utility data collection, environmental monitoring and general low power telemetry applications.
Fastlink uses far less battery energy than lower speed counterparts for an equivalent amount of data, making it suitable for battery powered equipment too.
Fastlink is designed to raise efficiency and productivity through high speed communication on a single connection.
A low current standby (less than 5 microAmps) saves on operating costs and choice of power supply increases options for remote metering equipment linkup.
Set-up and routine communication is easy using the Jekyll 'Remote Manager' remote configuration software, whilst installation is possible on existing telephone lines through a shared line feature.
Conventional high speed computer modems are unsuitable for industrial needs because they are often bulky, power hungry, prone to locking up and limited in configuration ability.
Restrictions on size, power and costs have limited industrial modem transfer rates in the past to speeds of 1200bps or 2400 bps, but Fastlink plugs the gap with a solution that is compact, economical to run, reliable and completely versatile.
Remote monitoring is extremely cost-effective for organisations that want to re-deploy resources and interrogate unmanned facilities by downloading data to a central site.
High reliability industrial modems are the key to success in this area, and Jekyll has built up a reputation as one of the leading names in this field for many years.
