Introduction
The X-Link family of products provides simple telemetry anywhere. X-Link has
two purposes:
To collect and store data from meteorological and hydrological sensors.
To send that data wirelessly to a central system, phone or other station.
IRIDIUMLink, GPRSLink, HSPALink and CDMALink are members of the X-Link
family of products.
The only difference between the products is in the built-in communications
package:
X-Link
basic unit that includes all the measurements and logging capability of
X-Link family but with no modem installed.
IRIDIUMLink
includes a transmitter that can deliver data to you from
anywhere in the world via the Iridium satellite constellation.
GPRSLink
includes a quad band GSM cell phone modem that can operate
when the unit is within range of a cell phone network of companies like AT&T
and T-Mobile.
HSPALink
includes a quad band GSM cell phone modem that can operate at
4G speeds on cell phone networks of companies like AT&T and T-Mobile.
CDMALink
includes a CMDA cell phone modem that uses networks of
companies like Sprint and Verizon.
Each X-Link has the same sensor connectors and is capable of making the same
sensor measurements. Up to 16 independent measurements can be set up to
collect data via SDI-12, analog, and digital interfaces.
LinkComm
software
is used to easily set up and maintain X-Link either via a
direct USB connection or remotely over cell, satellite, or Wi-Fi. LinkComm runs
on Windows PC, OS X, iPhone/iPad, and Android platforms.
X-Link was built to work with
Sutron WIN
. Sutron WIN makes it easy to collect
data from multiple stations over different communication networks. Sutron WIN
makes it possible to view all your data using a web browser.
