Remote check
May 1st 2005

Gone are the days, says Ascom Tele-Nova, when a computer LAN or WAN network and a telephone or paging system need to be seen as two separate communication entities. It offers a number of soft and hardware solutions that enable direct links between the two.

This is useful where Ascom Tele- Nova products are used to remotely monitor maintenance or alarm conditions for all sorts of third party machinery and control equipment. Handset carriers receive an automatic alert or detailed text message about the functioning of the equipment and, by transmitting a pre-programmed signal, activate a control on the equipment in real-time.

This can significantly increase efficiency. Maintenance staff, for example, can ‘see’ what is happening and trigger a response without the need to physically attend the equipment’s location.
