Why do automatic weather stations use GPRS?

With the application of GPRS, the automatic weather station is more convenient to use.

Automatic weather station is the collection and transmission of various meteorological data equipment, can collect soil temperature and humidity, air temperature and humidity, wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, light, total solar radiation, evaporation and other meteorological factors, can also collect oxygen, carbon dioxide, negative oxygen ions, TVOC and other gas concentration.

GPRS plays the role of transmission in automatic weather stations.

Traditional transmission methods always have a variety of problems, such as wired network wiring costs are too high, and not good construction. The development of the 2.5 generation communication technology GPRS can solve the above problems.

GPRS to traffic billing, and a wide range of coverage, data transmission speed is faster, we usually do not use mobile phone traffic Internet access? This speed, bar drop ~

The following are the advantages of GPRS:

1. Wide coverage, even some mountainous areas, towns and villages can be covered. Some weather stations are installed in remote places, and GPRS can be used without worrying too much about transmission problems.

2. Fast transmission, at present, GPRS actual data transmission rate is about 40Kbps.

3. Low cost, according to the flow charge, 2G if the cost is relatively low;

4. Support IP protocol and X.25 protocol, can provide global wireless access to the Internet and other packet networks.

It can be seen that GPRS is widely used in automatic weather stations, benefiting from its advantages of low cost, wide range and fast speed. Of course, you can also choose communication methods, GPRS is only one of them.
