A753 GPRS
The all-new A753 addWAVE GSM/GPRS offers a wealth of new features and takes our hot-selling line of GSM RTUs to a whole new, professional level. Get more of everything! More resolution, more I/Os, more memory, more flexibility, etc.etc
The A753 GSM / GPRS RTU is a completely new design that surpasses its predecessor, the A733 GRPS, in every aspect. We have tried to build an RTU that can be used for a huge variety of applications, from basic to professional meteorology, from hydrographics to meter reading, from wind and solar power site assessments to rain intensity monitoring.

Which applications have we built the A753 RTU for?
Here are a few examples
Agricultural Weather stations
Just like its predecessor the A753 makes an excellent ag met station: very easy to install, setup and maintain, and fully backwards compatible - yet expandable to an unheard of extent!
Professional Weather Stations
Professional meteorologists want the best of it all. They want high resolution, WMO compliant measuring methods, particularly when it comes to wind speed and direction, flexibility to host many different sensors - and if that comes in a compact package at reasonable prices it doesn't hurt either! A753 can do all that and more
The Environmental Monitor: Water and Air quality
Most modern multi-parameter sensors for water and air quality come with a digital SDI-12 interface to increase accuracy and compatibility. A753 allows the operation of up to 40 SDI-12 values without any additional adapters. And for accurate analog sensors it features 12 0-2,5V inputs with 16-bit resolution.
The Rain Intensity Station
In many countries rain intensity monitoring requires the stations capability to store date and time of every single pulse that occurs. Lots of data! The A753 can not only do that - it can furthermore store the wind speed and wind direction at the time of the pulse!
