ATLANTA, June 11, 2002-- MISSION Communications received a Purchase Order today from Hilton Head PSD #1 Wastewater Utility for 93 Mission Model 100 units to monitor their lift stations. Tom Jenkins, Supervisor of the Utility said, "We have a large number of small lift stations due to the very high water table here on the island. We explored many options and MISSION's Model 100 system was the clear winner." The M100's are simple enough to install that Hilton Head personnel will install the MISSION RTU's themselves.

Hilton Head already had a full SCADA system on most of their major lift stations on the island. The MISSION system will provide many of the existing system SCADA functions and a few that it doesn't. "Hilton Head was very interested in automating personnel tasks to save time," said John Collings, President of MISSION. He went on to say, "the automated site log in and pump runtime analysis features were key in their decision; especially since our system would automatically notify them if a pump wasn't running right."

Since 1999, MISSION's core competencies have been in national public wireless data networks, Internet technologies, databases, graphical user interfaces and computer telephony. MISSION specializes in combining these technologies into "packaged SCADA" systems primarily for the water and wastewater industries. Many of MISSION's features are so advanced, or unique, they have patents or are patent pending.
