Telemetry or machine-to-machine remote monitoring

[YelloFever]

Telemetry or machine-to-machine remote monitoring and controlling has been popularised with the move to use GSM and GPRS as the platform to link remotely located or moving devices because of the widespread coverage being offered by networks such as MTN - especially in rural locations.

Telemetry applications that have been developed by our Partners include fleet management applications that allow companies to track the movement of their company vehicles in real time, to monitor such aspects as ignition and petrol cap access, and even being able to lock-down the vehicle when needed. Some partners have developed sci-fi like applications that allow you to remotely monitor your home, even controlling your air-conditioning, lights and garage door.

Through these and other partnerships MTN is able to focus on what is essential to realising any service or product being offered - having a robust, reliable and secure network that can be relied upon. And while we do this our Partners are focus on proving the exciting content and essential services that keeps us abreast of the latest technology and trends affecting mobile communication.

Provided MTN never hire any employees with tendency to use information illegally... can anyone guarantee a corruption free firm... tough call.

Just imagining my burglar alarm being bypassed by a hi-tech hacker...

When MTN hire's employees

We do a number of reference check's, check if the employee has a criminal record, ITC check the employee and so forth, in terms of information being accessed illegally there are some fraud applications installed to the highest regard to prevent against any employee using information illegally.

Hacking is a threat to all systems including banks, but I can assure you that MTN have hi-tech systems implemented to avoid such interventions.

Hope that helps

Does MTN give any telemetry packages? All I can find is ProData, but it looks like it's limited to CDS, I would like to use GPRS, Vodacom gives a telemetry package, but it's R39 for 5MB!!!!! That almost R8 a meg....

I went to MTN service centre in canal walk, but they cant help me. MTN does have the R10 for 10 Meg offer going, which is pretty good for me, since I'll only be sending about 5 Meg a month (Data is sent every 15 seconds) ,but I don't want to be caught out when they change their data packages.

Thank you
