line modems and above (in GPRS mode)
Can provide GSM-dialup or GPRS connections with any
Campbell datalogger
Can also be used to send alarms and data via SMS text
messaging
Very low power consumption so can often be left on all the
time
Wide operating temperature: -30

Overview
The CS-GSM/GPRS kits feature a preconfigured
COM110 modem that allows data to be collected
from a remote datalogger across the GSM cell phone
network. Also included are all of the necessary cables,
interfaces, mounting brackets and an antenna to
provide an easy to use solution out of the box. All that
is needed to get the system up and running is a SIM
obtained from service provider who provides good
coverage at the intended site of operation*.
Once installed, it is then possible to collect data from
the datalogger. This may either be done using GSM
dial-up (sometimes called Circuit Switched Data
mode), in a similar way to a normal landline modem
connection or the COM110 can be configured to run
a GPRS/IP connection, where the logger can be
accessed via a TCP/IP connection.
GSM dial-up connections are generally easier to set
up and to get running, but are charged for on a time
of connection basis. Obtaining a GSM dial-up service
is however becoming more difficult to get as some
operators no longer support it, especially for access
from a landline network. GPRS communications is now
the norm but setting up a connection is slightly more
complicated. Power allowing, GPRS can generally
be left always-on and is normally charged for by data
volume not time.

*When the kit is to be used in association with Campbell Scientific’s Konect
data collection service a SIM will normally be provided as part of the
subscription package.
