What is RT-DAS?Monitoring and rapid transmission of data to central reference pointDigital measurement of:Water levelClimateWater qualityTransmission via satellite / mobile phone Capture and processing of data on computer

Real Time Measurement

Source: Mark Heggli

Example system:

Terrestrial-based solutions: GSM/GPRSConceptGSM/GPRS systems can work by sending text messages and/or data files Allows two-way communication, with the ability to change program settings, download data, or just query for the most recent measurements.

Data ReceiptReal-time HIS requires both monitoring equipment as well as a dependent data receiving solutionHardware/Software solutions to receiveGSM/GPRSINSATVSATEtc. Data Center components can be acquired separately, but data reception solution must be part of the tenderINTERNET Connection for GSM/GPRSGround Station for INSATMaster Control Station for VSATEtc.
