This is a technology update on different technologies for telemetry for water sensor data. The industry now calls these Machine to Machine (M2M) and also refers to them as the emerging Internet of Things (IOT) sector. The presentation will initially cover cell phone telemetry technologies, 2G, 3G & 4G (LTE) and the emerging private 4G (LTE) and the growth of sensor networks and narrowband LTE. The presentation will also cover the available satellite based telemetry systems, including Inmarsat, Globalstar, Iridium Orbcom and Thuraya, and their product offerings and capabilities. Finally there will be a presentation on Internet security as it relates to these technologies.
