Cellnet Data Systems
CellNet Wireless Automation Network is a wireless communications systemcapable of realtime, bi-directional data collection, processing, anddelivery. Building on advances in cellular technology, CellNet hasdeveloped a low-cost wireless data communications solution that reducesthe cost and complexity of accessing and managing data from remotelocations -- thereby increasing efficiency, profitability, andcompetitiveness. CellNet's network has applications in the electric, gas,and water utility industries; in the vending machine industry, to monitorinventory levels and cash receipts; in the home security business, todetect security breaches without relying on wires; and in paying return,vehicle tracing, traffic light control, and other uses.CellNet Wireless Automation Network enables electric and gas utilities toremotely monitor and control points on their distribution systems, withfunctions ranging from monitoring pressure gauges or operating switchesto reading customer meters. The system monitors systems andenvironmental conditions, while transmitting energy usage or other datato and from customer sites. The CellNet Wireless Automation Networkprovides the information delivery services and application interfacesnecessary to allow utilities to locate and isolate faults, provide remoteswitching to alternate circuits, and sense impending system failures(such as overheating lines or transformers, or leaking gas mains). Thesecapabilities enable a utility to reroute power or gas to prevent failuresand restore service after outages. The CellNet Wireless AutomationNetwork can also help reduce power line losses through optimized controlof distribution system components. The CellNet Wireless AutomationNetwork's cost-effective meter automation and demand-side managementsolutions allow the utility to offer new customer services, whilereducing utility operating costs.
