Telemetry; The Science Or The Process Of Collecting Information About Objects Remotely

| Telemetry |
Telemetry is the automatic measurement and wireless
transmission of data from remote sources. It is a subset of monitoring and refers to
the mechanism of representing the data provided by the monitoring tool. Telemetry
can be viewed as agents that can be programmed to specific monitoring data. Telemetry
is defined as the process of data maintained by a system being collected
remotely through the use of agents and protocols. The data extends to and
includes all metrics, logs, events, and traces that are created by the
applications.
Telemetry involves sensing and measuring data at a
remote source and transmitting that data to a central location; at the monitoring
station. Telemetry
is used to monitor the internal functioning of various objects. It can record the
data on position, altitude, speed, air pressure, radiation, and more. Weather
forecasters use telemetry to map out patterns of weather. Astronauts on the
space shuttle use telemetry system to monitor their conditions and meet range
safety flight termination criteria. Telemetry also allows robust data
collection and delivery to centralized systems.
In a centralized system, Telemetry can be effectively used to
analyze and understand data. Big data technologies and strategies are changing
the way telemetry is used. These techniques can aggregate vast amounts of
unstructured data and generate detailed reports and intelligence for any
industry. Increasingly, organizations are relying on applications to execute
business. Telemetry is often used in testing hostile environments which are
dangerous to humans. For instance, deep sea, volcanoes, radioactive sites, munitions
storage facilities, and outer space.
Thus, there is an increase in demand for Telemetry services worldwide. In August
2022, SignalFire Wireless Telemetry received the approval from the Mexico’s
Federal Telecommunication Institute (Instituto Federal De Telecomunicaciones)
for the use of its 900 MHz wireless products. SignalFire telemetry helps users to
digitally transform their operations using existing or new sensors without running
wires, cables, and/or conduit.
