Remote monitoring solutions for your business

Remote monitoring could give you the answers.

With a securely-connected, fully-automated online solution from Sprint, you’d know everything was running smoothly.

Or, thanks to a Sprint SMS text or email alert, you’d be aware that something needed your attention, pronto.

So you’d save time and money by dealing with a problem before it became a disaster.

If you’ve not considered remote monitoring until now, this is a great starting point.

Or if you can see the advantages of remote monitoring, but have been too busy to identify who to team up with, this eBook is for you, too.

Whatever your reason, you’ll want to know about a solution that’s easy to setup, manage and monitor.

No special technical knowledge required, no constant reconfiguring, no ‘what happened there?’ moments – just reliable, dependable, 24/7 peace of mind.

And because it works on the wireless Sprint network, you have the assurance of reliable service from an already-trusted provider.

Right now, at this very second, what’s happening in your business?

“We came in one Monday to find ceiling tiles everywhere in the server room and the floor six inches deep in water. Seems a plumbing failure three floors up had hit our server room over the weekend. We lost some equipment – and because we were halfway through a backup cycle, we lost precious customer data too. Now, those worries are over. With the wireless sensors, we get alerts, so we know the instant anything goes wrong.”

What can be monitored? What can’t would be a shorter list.

Who uses remote monitoring? Just about every business, from the smallest start-ups to major enterprises.

With everything set up on the Sprint network, you can keep close tabs on temperature, location and status of equipment to maximize efficiency of management and maintenance.

For example, power monitoring. Sudden spikes or surges? You’ll be the first to know. Want to stay safe and secure? Then motion sensors for doors and windows would be a logical choice.

Another thought. What if your business is regulated and has a requirement to monitor a device or process? If that requirement can be automated with the use of sensors, then this solution is for you.

And what if you have remote locations, or an inventory that is susceptible to a particular variant – for example, temperature or humidity – where equipment failure can have a knock-out effect on your business?

For example, a restaurant freezer breakdown isn’t just a failed unit – no sensor can prevent that. The real expense comes from the spoiled food and ingredients, which can be salvaged with prompt action.

“The restaurant had only been open six weeks when we had a near-disaster. A walk-in refrigerator failed and we lost all the food inside. We learned a valuable lesson that day. Now we have wireless sensors and text alerts if anything happens. The sensors were a cinch to install and the monitoring system has never failed us. No more spoiled food! With the sensors, there are no nasty surprises. If you run a kitchen, you can’t afford not to do this.”

“Vacant units cost us money. Vacant units where something bad happens and we don’t know about it until too late – they cost us a lot of money. But not any more! Since we got these little wireless sensors we know what’s going on 24/7 and we can fix problems before they disrupt our other tenants. We use them everywhere and they sure do a good job.”

Remote monitoring from Sprint is very effective, but it’s also very simple to set up, operate and understand.

There are currently more than 100 different types of low-cost wireless sensors for both commercial and industrial applications – sensors that can turn almost any office, plant or facility into a ‘smart’ environment.

They monitor various functions that are critical to business operations, including temperature, humidity, access, motion, water, light, voltage, and vibration.

These sensors connect to an online, self-monitored sensor platform via an advanced, all wireless, machine-to-machine (M2M) gateway.

The cellular gateway transmits data between local sensor networks and the online data monitoring system, which aggregates sensor information and sends notifications via text or email if user-defined conditions are met or exceeded.

No fuss, no fiddly maintenance. It just works.

The bottom line is, if you’re are running a plant or other facility, you can be aware of the status of critical functions each second. That helps to speed up operations, and ensure efficiency, security, and product quality.

Remote monitoring gives ‘distance learning’ a whole new meaning

The cellular gateway at a glance:

• True ‘plug-and-play’ – no Internet configuration and set-up hassles

• Optional 24-hour battery backup in event of power loss

• Low-cost cellular service packages

• 50,000 sensor message memory

• Local status LEDs with transmission and online status indicators

• Remote software upgrade capability
