Telemetry Considerations
• Life Cycle Cost– Capital, Recurring, Maintenance– 10 to 15 year life cycle– Planned Obsolescence
• Type of Communication System– Owned (radio) vs. Leased (Sat, Cell, Phone)– Lease Business Model– Lease Coverage and Service
• Long Term Maintenance– Radio Integrator’s Business Model– Where will the service originate
Telemetry Ownership
• Radio – Utility owns all the infrastructure– Maintains it.– Software is exception, purchase a license
• Telephone, Cellular, Satellite Systems– Utility owns a portion of the infrastructure– Rents the remainder, maintenance by others– Pay for the non-owned or rented portion
monthly or annually
Telephone
• Infrastructure Costs– Pay for line extensions– Pay rent on the use and maintenance– Recurring Costs
• Monopolies Historically Provide Poor Service to Remote Areas– Unfortunately that’s where most of your facilities are located.
• Modems subject to power surges• Common Problem- Phone company giving your wire pair
to another user• Alarm type systems dominate
Radio
• License and Unlicensed Systems– Spread Spectrum – Microwave
• Requires additional engineering– Radio surveys– Land for towers and repeaters
• Maintenance Costs can be high• Software Licenses are a Cost
consideration
Cellular Systems
• Coverage Issues-Dead Spots– System Population Based– Different Protocols=CDMA, GSM, PCS
• Analog was phased out in 2007• “One Way Systems”
– Dialing Channels– Minimizes Traffic but Minimizes the Total Data Transmitted
• Report and Alarm Type Systems• Recurring Charge• Lowest Cost Alternative• Most of Software is Web Hosted and Spread Sheet
Displayed (Not Graphical)
