The remote transmission of data to a monitoring station is a key component in many industries today. This may include such activities as

• Video surveillance cameras
• Hospital monitoring devices
• Remote weather monitoring stations
• Meter reading

Accurate Electronics' Ethernet Transceivers can be used to connect these remote devices to a computer or monitoring station. This type of use is especially appropriate when no physical connection is possible, such as with the remote weather monitoring station.

Since Ethernet transceivers can be configured to boost transmitting power, focus the signal in a specific direction, or filter out unwanted interference, a number of factors are considered. Some of the factors to be considered may include

• The actual range between transceivers
• The terrain between units
• The height of the transceivers above the terrain
• Whether or not either transceiver is mobile or stationary
• What kind of data is being transferred (digital or analog)
• Data rates required (peak and average)
• Radio frequency conditions at the sites (for potential interference)
