Mission

Telemetry Leader

In the steadily growing market of wireless telemetry solutions our mission is simple: we want to be the best! We have already achieved an excellent position with our turn-key solutions for environmental monitoring, agriculture, hydrometrics, drinking and waste water companies. They all need data, 24/7, and they need it fast, reliably and affordably.

Our Target

Best radios around

Adcon has focused on building compact and robust devices, which are extremely simple to install and operate, and excel thanks to their superior hardware technology.

Our target is building networks that cover huge areas, be it a large farm, the distribution network of a drinking water supplier, a province, a state or even an entire country. To achieve this target we have developed a series of data loggers, that cover all applications and all areas.

Powerful software package addVANTAGE Pro

At the same time as supplying excellent hardware products we would like to provide our customers with a convenient and powerful software tool that lets them visualize the data we deliver comprehensibly, proces it easily and distribute it back to their customers via the Internet.

We build what our customers want

That's why we permanently stay in touch with our clients and their clients, to understand the problems that need a solution. We believe in market driven development, where the client defines the job he wants done - but where Adcon defines how it's been done.

Strong R & D Team

Consistent, ongoing research and development, in which we invest a high percentage of our turnover, will help us maintain our lead!

Company

Adcon Telemetry Gmbh in its present form was established in October 2003. Its Headquarters are located in Klosterneuburg near Vienna, the capital of Austria. This is where the R&D Team of Adcon designs and develops digital radios for data transfer, based on UHF and GSM/GPRS technology.

In 2005 Adcon International Inc. in Davis, California, was set up, converting the former support office into a legal entity to better serve the needs of our US, Canadian and Latin American customers.

Apart from that we have sales offices in France and Italy. In April of 2006 a new office was opened in Adelaide, Australia.

Adcon Telemetry focuses on telemetry solutions, based on its own ultra low-power radio technology and GSM/GPRS modems, both being integrated into our own range of loggers. What makes the Adcon solution unique is a range of unrivaled product features:

• unsurpassed user friendliness of its whole product line
• extremely low power consumption, using the smallest solar panels in the industry.
• extremely high receiver sensitivity, resulting in very high transmission distances,
• the networking capability of each long-range station, which can at the same time function as relay for others,
• the integration of all of these devices into one Telemetry Gateway, that can manage all of them,
• a powerful SCADA software, collecting, distributing, storing, processing and visualizing all of this data.

With all these features in place Adcon has gained a very strong position in many countries, being the market leader particularly in agricultural applications.

We are proud to say that we operate a highly profitable company, which managed to show profit already in its first year, has significantly increased both turnover and profit in 2005, and continues to grow at a steady pace.

Technology

Why is Adcon Software superior?

There are many SCADA packages out there. Some are great for weather data, some offer fantastic management capabilities for huge numbers of data points, some are great for data providers, and some allow easy access through the internet. But just which one does it all? addVANTAGE Professional !

What makes Adcon Hardware so unique?

• Extremely sensitive radio receivers
• Extremely energy efficient devices
• Networkability of all Adcon RTU's with each other
• Extremely compact & tough yet affordable construction

Unusually high transmission distances

Due to the extraordinary sensitivity of their radio receivers Adcon RTU's can transmit over much larger distances than comparable devices using the same output power. That leaves the choice of site up to you and saves repeaters you might need with others.

Extremely low power consumption

An Adcon RTU needs hardly any power, and can thus be operated for a much longer time with a much smaller battery pack than others. To charge these batteries a solar panel barely larger than a postcard is sufficient - by far the smallest panels around! A great feature for environmental monitoring, when the next wall outlet is hours away. Let the clouds come, an Adcon doesn't run out of juice!

Adcon RTU's talk to each other to form networks

To make long distance even longer Adcon RTU's talk to each other. Each Adcon long range measuring station is ready to operate simultaneously as a relay station for other Adcon RTU's. That makes dedicated relay stations (almost) obsolete - somehow you'll always get that data package back to base!

Extremely compact & tough yet affordable construction

From the very beginning integration was our target. Logger, radio and battery pack in one single, small and robust enclosure. Connect radio to logger? Setup logger for data transmission? Wire the battery properly to logger and radio and solar panel? Forget it! Plug in your sensor and your solar panel, mount the RTU to the pole set - ready to go! All the configuration work you can do at home from your A850 Telemetry Gateway.

Choose from UHF radio with 10 or  500mW, GSM & GPRS

Most countries on planet earth provide some frequencies for telemetry, telecommand and telecontrol in the range between 430 and 470MHz. Narrow band transmission with output powers between 10 and 500mW is either free or available against a little fee.

Adcon's RTU's use that frequency range and output powers of 10 to 500mW. A range of GSM / GPRS devices is also available, and can seamlessly be integrated to work with the same base stations and software. Integrated quad-band GSM modules make these RTU's compatible with all four GSM frequencies used in the world today.
