With the CDMA network scheduled to close on 28 April 2008, Telstra is now encouraging 2G customers to consider the switch to Next G, stating the higher data speeds of the network will facilitate faster remote monitoring for businesses.
Telstra Country Wide Director, Gary Goldsworthy, says the Next G network provides high quality video streaming and enables users to control remote cameras or equipment from where ever they have an internet connection.
“Remote telemetry, which uses wireless technology to monitor and report data, is enhanced on Telstra’s Next G network. This provides businesses with a huge potential to improve efficiency, reduce operational costs and provide superior real time information,” he said.
Goldsworthy says video-based telemetry via Next G could be used for remote viewing and monitoring of aquaculture sites, livestock in paddocks or even for security purposes. He also said Telstra was currently trialling a number of applications with developers.
“The University of New England’s RMCam product for example, is a remote monitoring solution developed to deliver vision and telemetry services with the key benefits being the mitigation of travel time, personnel expenses and maximising opportunity cost savings associated with staff and capital re-deployment,” he said.
