• Providing a communication solution between 69 water wells which were 5 – 10 kms apart
• A secure and reliable communication link
• Not affected by high temperature and humidity
• Achieving high throughput to handle high data rates
• Supporting Modbus to offer backward compatibility with SCADA
After several detailed site surveys, Xceltra decided to provide the customer with the M2M remote wireless solution to be installed for Saudi national water company (NWC). This decision was made based on the following factors:
• Using the wired solutions was not an option, as it suffers from humidity and is affected by water
• Since the distances between the sites were 5-10 KMs we used UHF Radios with high transmission power
