Simoco Pulse DMR solution (integrated RTU, data modems and gateway)

Click2Contact

Simoco has launched Pulse, a portfolio of products including integrated RTU, data modems and gateway for the electricity, water and gas sectors, which enable operators to manage and control smart grids and networks across large operational areas.

Pulse allows SCADA telemetry applications to be quickly deployed over DMR Tier III trunked networks to deliver reliable communications, including voice. The solution, which uses a fully integrated IP network to connect information sent from data modems or RTUs to SCADA masters, is designed to be effective in remote areas where cellular coverage is intermittent and installing wired networks is costly.

The portfolio consists of the Pulse AIR and AIR Pro data modems, suitable for organisations that already have RTUs either integrated into their equipment or have existing RTUs deployed over unreliable unlicensed channels, or public networks such as 3G or GPRS. Also included in the portfolio is the Pulse ELITE Integrated RTU for in-field deployments, which features digital and analog outputs for the collection of data and status information from plant equipment such as actuators, meters, switchgear and programmable logic controllers.

The gateway products also enable SCADA to seamlessly interface with the digital radio infrastructure. This makes the radio infrastructure transparent to the SCADA application and requires no customisation or integration in order to deploy SCADA over radio. Systems can either be fully deployed over PMR or can be used to form part of mixed technology telemetry solutions.
