Make the Decision: Landlines, Cellular Wireless, or CCC

Selecting a communication platform to meet your application requirements is a critical decision. Learn how to choose the right platform for your business by consulting our white paper "Information Delivery for Remote Monitoring Systems, An Analysis of Communication Platforms." The paper highlights the advantages and disadvantages of three specific platforms: landline, cellular wireless, and control channel cellular.

This white paper gives you a range of valuable information including a background of the remote monitoring systems market and an overview of each communication platform. A section titled, "Making the Decision," guides you through a series of questions you need to ask when choosing a platform, and then refers you to a comparison chart to analyze each option according to the application requirement.

Learn more, download a copy of RACO's white paper, or view an interactive presentation.
