What do icelandic volcanoes do? The answer to this question is extremely im-portant for many people and companies – not only on Iceland. In 2010 air traffic was shut down due to volcano ash in the atmosphere. Thousands of people waited in vain for their scheduled flights and numerous cargo shipments were delayed across Europe. For these reasons and more, remote monitoring of volca-noes is important to all of us.

Conel s.r.o. devices – in this case GPRS/EDGE ER75i routers – help transfer data from seismological stations via wireless GPRS/EDGE mobile operator network technology to a central location where it is processed and analyzed.

“Wireless data transfer from geo-meas-uring devices is one of the large varieties of applications where GSM mobile oper-ator network communication is really ef-ficient. Reliability and security of such a solution is vital. Also important are entry -level and operating costs compared to other technologies available on market,” says Otakar Müller, Conel Marketing and Sales Director.

His opinion is proven by the operation of hundreds of other, similar applica-tions. GPRS/EDGE ER75i routers are also suitable for industrial uses ,data transfer from ATMs, ticketing terminals and ki-osks, and more.
