Why is Adcon Software superior?
There are many SCADA packages out there. Some are great for weather data, some offer fantastic management capabilities for huge numbers of data points, some are great for data providers, and some allow easy access through the internet. But just which one does it all: addVANTAGE Pro 5.4 !

What makes Adcon Hardware so unique?
- Extremely sensitive radio receivers
- Extremely energy efficient devices
- Networkability of all Adcon RTU's with each other
- Extremely compact & tough yet affordable construction

Extremely sensitive radio receivers
Due to the extraordinary sensitivity of their radio receivers Adcon RTU's can transmit over much larger distances than comparable devices using the same output power. That leaves the choice of site up to you and saves repeaters you might need from others.

Extremely energy efficient devices
An Adcon RTU needs hardly any power, and can thus be operated for a much longer time with a much smaller battery pack than others. To charge these batteries a solar panel hardly larger than a postcard is sufficient - by far the smallest panels around! A great feature for environmental monitoring, when the next wall outlet is hours away. Let the clouds come, an Adcon doesn't run out of juice!

Networkability of all Adcon RTU's with each other
To make long distance even longer Adcon RTU's talk to each other. Each Adcon long range measuring station is ready to operate simultaneously as a relay station for other Adcon RTUs. That makes dedicated relay stations (almost) obsolete - some-how you'll always get that data package back to base!

Extremely compact & tough yet affordable construction
From the very beginning integration was our target. Logger, radio and battery pack in one single, small and robust enclosure. Connect radio to logger? Setup Logger for Data transmission? Wire the battery properly to logger and radio and solar panel? Forget it! Plug in your sensor and your solar panel, mount the RTU to the pole set - ready to go! All the configuration work you can do at home from your A850 Telemetry Gateway.

UHF 430 - 470MHz, 10 - 500mW, GSM & GPRS
Most countries on planet earth provide some frequencies for telemetry, telecommand and telecontrol in the range between 430 and 470MHz. Narrow band transmission with output powers between 10 and 500mW is either free or available against a little fee.

Adcon's RTU's use that frequency range and output powers of 10 to 500mW. A GSM / GPRS device is also available, and can seamlessly be integrated to work with the same base stations and software. An integrated quad-band GSM module makes the RTU compatible with all four GSM frequencies uses in the world today.
