INDUSTRIAL MONITORING AND CONTROL APPLICATIONS
Industries with remote equipment and infrastructure, such as mining, energy, utilities and infrastructure have an increasing emphasis on automation to reduce costs and improve asset productivity. In addition, factors such as compliance monitoring, operational safety, asset security and rapid decision making all demand better, more efficient data availability from remote installations.
Fastwave specializes in developing solutions that address these requirents, especially where terrestrial communications are either unavailable, unreliable or uneconomic. Some examples of industrial remote monitoring and control applications that Fastwave has developed solutions for include;
FastComm RTU The Fastcomm RTU provides an ideal remote monitoring and control solution for a wide range of applications where online data access is required. Fastcomm consists of an integrated Iridium satellite transceiver, microprocessor and data logger in a rugged enclosure. It is designed to operate autonomously at the remote installation, but can be remotely re-programmed if required. Key Features

Fastwave has comprehensive software and hardware engineering expertise to integrate satellite telemetry systems with industrial control equipment and sensors. Our expertise is focused on the two most advanced satellite telemetry systems available. The Iridium Short Burst Data system provides global, near real time, 2-way on-line data connectivity for low-bandwidth applications, either fixed or mobile. Iridium Short Burst Data (SBD)
The Iridium SBD system utilizes compact, robust transceivers to transmit and receive data in the field. There are two versions available, the Iridium 9522 L-Band transceiver and the Iridium 9601 L-Band Transceiver. As an Iridium Value Added Manufacturer, Fastwave has the expertise to integrate these devices into its monitoring, control and tracking products to provide solutions with the necessary intelligence to operate autonomously in the field, and interface with other data acquisition and process control equipment. For more information, please refer to:
For applications that require real time, high bandwidth data transfer (up to 484 kbps), Inmarsat’s BGAN (Broadband Global Area Network) service provides an ideal solution. BGAN’s compact terminals can be easily interfaced with SCADA systems to provide a low cost alternative to VSAT satellite systems.
For applications that involve clusters of monitoring sites, the Fastcomm RTU can act as the master satellite communication and control terminal in a star or hub and spoke topology. The local network of monitoring sites can be hardwired back to the Fastcomm RTU. Alternatively, over longer distances, short range radio links can be used, using low cost, self contained miniature radio transmitters from Radio Tech of the UK. The RTCom Integrated Sensor Technology Transmitters consist of radio transmitter, controller, data interface, transducer and antenna all housed in a self-contained IP 68 enclosure to give a cost effective alternative to using cables even over the shortest of distances. The built in battery gives an operating life of up to 10 years. See also: Fastwave DMT Mobile Messaging Terminal
