Data collection systems based on the GSM network

Abstract

This contribution presents some positive results of the research project MSM 272300012 focused on wireless communication, data collection and remote control systems. A concrete GSM controller, developed by a Czech company is used as data controller and remote control system operated by GPRS communication and/or predefined SMS messages. Developed control system allows collecting data and putting them straight to the MS-Access database, which could be used as a data source for data processing systems developed in some database system. The GSM controller can be used as a data collector only or for data measurement and transmitter to the superior data collecting GSM controller in a two-level architecture. It is also possible to control some simple technology system, receive commands and system values during SMS messages or GPRS, and many other possibilities.
