Full Description

With pressures for utilities to reduce staffing levels and approach a higher level of automation, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) network speed and reliability becomes increasingly critical. The typical SCADA communications (sometimes termed telemetry) systems are sometimes taxed to be able to provide the needed information in a timely manner. In order to increase the transmission speed and thereby increasing throughput and bandwidth, a frame relay communication network might be the right choice for a utility. This paper provides a description of the frame relay network, advantages and disadvantages, and reasons to use frame relay systems to help decide whether it is the right application for the job.
