Cellular Solutions Seminar – 29th October 2008 Russ Hill Hotel, Gatwick, UK
The rapid growth of Mobile Broadband is proving to be of huge value to systems integrators, OEMs and installers in industrial markets. Companies are now using GPRS & 3G connectivity in applications such as CCTV, Telemetry, environmental monitoring and Industrial Automation to lower system deployment times and eliminate the cost of installing fixed lines. In many cases, cellular connectivity enables solutions to be provided for difficult applications where they simply could not have been contemplated previously.
This seminar pulls together the leading companies in this arena to provide an end to end explanation of how to use cellular connectivity in your automation and B2B projects. Participating companies include - Amplicon, Sarian, Digi & Vianet.
