ATLANTA, September 15, 2003 --
MISSION Communications announced the release of their new SSO/CSO monitoring
and alarm system called the M-80. The M-80 system tracks manhole surcharges
and overflows. "Many municipalities have at least a few points in their
collection system that surcharge form time to time; now you can know before
it's running down the street," said Jeffrey Collings, National Sales and
Marketing Manager.
The M-80 is unique in that it includes all hardware, installation materials
and reporting service in a single packaged solution. The M-80 is self
contained with a 5 to 7 year battery life, totally waterproof, and is designed
to be installed in sewer manholes or field access points in an hour and a
half. The system uses one or two floats to detect surcharge and rising
water levels.
MISSION has developed a proprietary in-road antenna technology that
requires only 15 minutes to install and is impervious to road traffic. Upon
alarm detection, the unit sends a signal via the extremely reliable cellular
control channel to MISSION's computer center in Atlanta. From there, MISSION
uses automated reporting facilities to call, page, email or fax alarm
conditions to customers. All events are archived, and alarm histories can
be viewed/printed from secure, private, customer websites.
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.
