Product Overview

MyCity is a web-based generic platform for the publishing of real time information of Cities, Towns, Districts or Utilities. It makes use of the GPRS or other services offered by the various GSM network operators. The information also can be transmitted to the platform by third party SCADA systems monitoring citywide parameters or directly from outstations in the field supporting the protocol or a MyCity outstation. The MyCity outstation is an intelligent data logging device, capable of scanning a number of sensors monitoring flow, level, power, status, pH or any other parameter. The information is stored on the platform server and made available in the form of graphic trends, charts and reports to different levels of management or interested parties across the city, using a browser.

MyCity Outstation – Battery, Mains or Solar Powered

Information is transmitted to the web server by an outstation, no larger than a 2L Coke bottle. It is powered by an internal battery with a battery life of 5 years. It is also possible to download the outstation data onto a laptop computer or other data transfer device and onto a PC. The memory capacity is such that it can store at least six weeks' data, logged at 15 minute intervals. The outstation is equipped with a GSM module capable of communicating with the internet server. An alarm condition can be programmed at the outstation. This could be an empty reservoir, full sump, and high flow rate or low battery power. On an active alarm condition, the outstation sends an SMS to a pre-programmed number.
