The Neon Remote Terminal 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 cellular telephone network.

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 Neon NRT units in the field.

The NRT terminal is designed to automate collection of remote data from environmental monitoring, industrial measurements, and utility metering via cellular networks from any location within the cellular network coverage area significantly reducing th eneed for site visits to download the data. The NRT also has the capability to raise alarms on an event based or data late basis, alerting users to any problems as and when they happen and not at the periodic site visit.

Fully bi-directional communications are possible allowing data to be collected directly and also enabling configuration changes remotely from any internet connection.

The NRT supports integrated logging or automated collection of data from an external datalogger. Inputs include analog, digital and SDI 12 datalogger interface standard. There is also an option for 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.
