In environmental monitoring systems it is often required to locate remote stations in rural and hard to reach areas. Such locations can prove difficult when providing for communications.
The STI Engineering VHF Crescendo has been used in environmental monitoring and warning systems where the difficult terrain required high performance, non line-of-site data SCADA radios.

As many Leased Line services, known as Permitted Attached Private Lines (PAPL) or Private Circuits, are being phased out by telecommunications companies users of these services are turning to alternative technologies for connecting their legacy services.
Private data radio is one technology being used to provide the same dedicated connection link with the same required timing and interface specifications.

STI Engineering radios have been used in many applications to extend communications links past the coverage limits of public networks, in rural and mine site areas or in basements and multilevel car parks. The data radios are used as a last mile link where other communications are not feasible, are unreliable or are being phased out. In most cases the operation of then network does not need to change to accommodate the new wireless infrastructure.

The RFI-9256 radio modem is used as a part of the Patrick Terminal Automated Straddle System. The radio allows an operator using a single pendant remote control to make a dedicated connection via a standard Hayes protocol to any of the straddles operating in the yard. The operator can perform a manual straddle movement then release control to back to the automated system.

Security Access Control Systems
The RFI-9256 radio modem has been successfully utilised in security access control systems across a range of industries. The radio is particularly well suited for use in mobile and temporary access point applications, or as an alternative where cabling is either uneconomical or impractical. The radio is fully compatible with the softwares of industry leaders Siemens™, Honeywell™ and Tecom™.
