Advantages of Cloud-Based Monitoring & Control with Cattron

October 2022 MARIETTA, GA ~ Phone dialers continue to be a consistent choice for many businesses in the water and wastewater industries. However, those alarm dialer systems come with pain points that may create vulnerabilities to the overall system. The solution? A Cattron cloud-based monitoring and control system. Phone dialers were a great solution for many years. However, technology continues to evolve, and dialers succumb to a variety of susceptibilities and out-of-date issues, including:

• Damaged equipment from lightning strikes 
• Marginalized phone line quality
• Critical alarm notifications are not received when phone lines are down
• Costly and significant fines when unaddressed critical events happen
• Surge vulnerabilities

Experiencing one or more of these frustrations can lead to unnecessary additional costs. In fact, the average annual phone line service costs per site for an alarm dialer is between $600-$1,200 – and that’s without any service, equipment, or replacement costs.Monitoring and control systems for water and wastewater application need to be reliable, efficient and cost-effective. One way to reduce the chances of key pain points – surges from lightning strikes, outdated equipment, phone line quality, etc. – is to focus, instead, on a cellular- or satellite-based solution. Cattron’s SCADA cloud-based solutions are wireless with a dependable battery backup and an alarm notification if any lost communication events are detected.
