Data loggers are not reliant upon GPRS network

DAN data loggers transmit data via the mobile phone network. In some parts of Australia the network performance is poor or unreliable however that never prevents DAN data loggers from transmitting data to the website where you can access it via your password in exactly the same way you access you bank details over the internet.

DAN utilises a number of options in locations where the GPRS network is not strong.

  1. DAN can use wirless transmitters to send data from a poor reception area to a wireless receiver provided there is a nearby location where the receiver can be located and from that poit, can relay data to the website. With DAN equipment the wireless communication points can be up to 2 kilometers away from one another
  2. DAN has developed data loggers that efficiently and effectively utilise satellite communications. Whilst a little more expensive for each byte of data transferred, the efficiency of the DAN data logging system still means it’s very cost effective
  3. Sometimes, in the very remotest of areas DAN simply arranges for the field unit to communicate via an RS232 connection to a local PC from where the data is transmitted to the website via the local PC’s normal Internet connection.

Data Acquisition Networks always finds a way to get the data to where it is required.
