ATLANTA, February 22, 2007 - MISSION was notified today that it was selected to give a
technical presentation at WEFTEC this fall titled "Hybrid SCADA: Combining Conventional
and Cellular SCADA Yields Increased Performance and Big Savings." The presentation was
one of 48 approved out of 160 that were submitted to the Collection Systems Group.
The presentation will include a case study where CH2M Hill and MISSION teamed up to
save one municipality over $1,000,000 by including cellular SCADA. The City and
engineers chose to use cellular at the low to medium flow duplex pump stations,
supervisory monitoring water sites and the costliest to reach sites. “Frankly, we
didn’t expect the cellular based equipment to work very well. Some of our previous
experiences with cellular haven’t been that good,” says Bill Phillips, Senior I&C
engineer with CH2M Hill in Gainesville, FL. “After the successful testing, and
considering the way it simplified numerous areas of the project, we were much more
comfortable designing the cellular into the system. We’re always looking for new
ways to save our customers money.”
The WEFTEC Conference will be in San Diego, California in October. The tentative date
for MISSION’s presentation is Wednesday October 17, 2007 in the morning.
MISSION Communications is based in Atlanta, Georgia and provides turnkey monitoring and SCADA services
to the water and wastewater utility industry. MISSION was the first to introduce the wireless to
web concept to the water industry and is the acknowledged leader in the field.
