3.0 APPLICATIONS

Point-to-Multipoint, Multiple Address Systems (MAS)

This is the most common application of the transceiver. It consists of a
central master station and several associated remote units as shown in
Figure 4. An MAS network provides communication between a central
host computer and remote terminal units (RTUs) or other data collection
devices. The operation of the radio system is transparent to the computer
equipment.
Often, such a system is used to convey telemetry data to and from
widely separated remote radios. Typical applications include automatic,
remote monitoring of gas wells, water tank levels, electric power distri-
bution systems, and similar control and measurement functions.
The radio system can replace a network of remote monitors currently
linked to a central location using leased telephone lines or other hard-
wired means. At the central office of such a system, there is usually a
dedicated computer and some means of switching between individual
