Introduction
Geneko Spark GPRS terminal is designed to provide
wireless access to any manageable device and enables
automatic data management and monitoring of all
devices in customer network. A control system, which
is based upon the quad band Spark GPRS terminal,
solves the problem of everyday updating of data
included in large number of the devices located in
the distant places. Thanks to the communicational
software and the terminal's possibilities itself,
data flow between devices and central server can be
done automatically.
In fact, Spark is completely programmable and
manageable and equipped with real time clock and
internal memory for data storage. Spark is able to
download and write data into device automatically
and to read and upload reports to customer's server
automatically as well. Direct communication with
these devices can be done by various interfaces and
data transfers over mobile telephone GSM network
using GPRS, CSD and SMS services.
It is possible to establish Internet dial up
connection with Spark terminal acting as GPRS modem.
The current release of Spark terminal is able to
connect to all networks. In this case Spark enables
customer's PC or PDA to connect to Internet from any
location using GSM network.
Applications
Spark GPRS terminal has its own IP address (fixed or
dynamic) so every device, with terminal connected,
may become part of TCP/IP computer network. It is
enough to change part of terminal’s software for
communication with that device and to adapt it
according to special customer's demands. The fact
that the terminal communicates with various devices
located in remote locations where there aren't any
common telephone lines, expands possible
implementation areas:
• Security services
• Controlling and monitoring of various measuring
devices:
- UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)
- Temperature regulators
- Flow controllers
- RFID readers
• Retail trade
- Cash registers
- Fiscal printers
• Emergency systems
• Environmental monitoring in meteorology
• Gambling devices
• Lottery machines
Main
functions
• Wireless connection between customer's central
server and great number of its remote devices
• Two-way data transfer over GSM network
• Automatic control and data input into the device
(e.g. updating database) and automatic reading and
uploading of report to customer's server
• Centralized management and monitoring of all
devices in the whole customer network
Advantages
• Universal usage – GPRS terminals can manage with
all devices conducted by various hardware interfaces
• Constant and simultaneous connection of central
computer with all devices regardless of their number
• Communication with the devices located in the
whole area covered by the mobile phone operator
• The possibilities of access by using any PC or PDA
connected on Internet or by mobile phone, which has
GPRS and wap browser
• Safe data transfer – Central server and the
devices belong to the protected network
• Independent work – GPRS terminals can be timely
arranged for accomplishing demanded activities (e.g.
reporting)
• Very simple and quick installation and easy to use
