Multiport-104 - GSM device for distributed plant monitoring and control

Everyone knows that wire communication channels are not always applicable in monitoring and control systems of distributed plants. That is why, GSM communication is often used for remote and widely distributed control objects. However, conventional GSM modems do not ensure secure and reliable wireless data communication. To overcome the challenge, a GSM device named Multiport -104 was designed. It enables the development of telemetry subsystems for control and monitoring systems of distributed geographically plants.
