Estudo de caso para enlace de comunicação via rádio

Abstract

Communication links are key points for efficient and robust monitoring of any industrial process. Distributors of natural gas, their distribution networks in public places and large extensions becoming too expensive to consider the possibility of monitoring and automation by wired links. This article aimed to create an environment with two distinct modalities of wireless communication, monitor the performance parameter of the embassies. In this environment they were exploited as GPRS technologies against an IEEE 802.11 link. Thus, a methodology was created to measure the performance parameter of both networks as delay, there is no data reception, available connection time and error rate. Surveys were carried out on days with different climatic conditions where there was some interference in the quality, but nothing that causes a bad experience for users, so the dedicated link showed a technical solution with superior characteristics in connection quality and cost of implantation.
