Monitoring environmental conditions such as rainfall in remote areas is a challenge. Retrieving data from conventional data loggers required a visit which to a remote site is not practical. Often remote sites do not have mobile phone coverage and the problem with satellite communication has up until now always been that that the satellite line can remain open and the cost can balloon out of control.

Data Acquisition Networks have developed a satellite data logger that makes a connection, verifies the data has been transmitted and then terminates the call thereby ensuring satellite costs never, ever get out of control.

DAN is set to revolutionise thinking about the cost effective use of satellite data loggers.
