SOME FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING REMOTE TELEMETRY UNITS

POWER

If you need it to work in the field on battery power then there are a few things to think about …

• quiescent power consumption to maximise life,
• local intelligence & real time monitoring.
• SD card to act as “black box flight recorder” to capture granular measurements not viably transferable via GSM
• Smart batteries, with remote Battery condition monitoring
• on-board battery back-up in case of primary battery failure, to alert you if there is a problem
  • If they’re relevant, check out the NanoULTRA which ticks all those boxes, with up to 5 years battery life!
