The Neon Inmarsat Satellite system is a sophisticated range of remote monitoring and control solutions. Certified for use over Inmarsat’s global satellite network, Neon provides a complete IP telemetry system, from sensors to web servers, allowing you to quickly and effectively monitor and control your fixed assets all from one easy-to-use web application.

The Neon range is a complete IP telemetry system, incorporating everything from sensors and data loggers to web servers and software applications for easy and effective remote monitoring and management of fixed M2M assets.

The solution allows data logging, connection of sensors, control and SCADA functionality to upload data to a secure central server so that it always remains safe. All elements of the solution can be accessed and monitored from an easy to use web tool, giving you access to your entire network of connected assets at a glance.

The 2018E NRT Inmarsat BGAN M2M Satellite (Logger/RTU) is a small self-contained unit which connects to sensors in the field, collects readings from those sensors, and transmits the collected data to a central server via a standard Ethernet port connected to an Inmarsat BGAN Terminal. The Neon central server system is provided on a Neon Data Service basis and on a Neon Client System basis and provides a central computer system to monitor and receive data from many NRT units in the field. Fully bi-directional communications are possible via the Neon server. Data can be collected directly and the NRT can be programmed from any internet connection. The 2018E NRT Logger/RTU supports TCP/IP packet data. Long battery life and low operating costs are made possible through use of advanced microcontroller technology. Inputs include analog, digital and SDI 12 datalogger interface standard. There is also Modbus support, a partial implementation of the Modbus protocol which allows for extract data (get) and place data (put) from/to a specific register within the Modbus RTU on an RS485 connection.
