GSM and data logger module

GSM and data logger moduleGSM and data logger module There is an increased demand by utilities for remote reading. Often water meters are installed at remote locations in the distribution network or below the ground for example in busy city centers. The IFC 070 can be supplied with a state-of-the-art data logger and GSM modem. The stored data is tranmitted (for example once a day) by SMS and can be forwarded to the customer's management system.
