Using an Instantel® Series III vibration monitor remotely connected to a computer running Instantel Blastware® software and an Internet connection, InstaLink™ detects and sends 4-channel event data from the monitor to the Blastware application. This information is then stored on the local computer. A Forwarding Agent (FA) software application detects the new event data files and sends it over the Internet to a server database. Multiple clients (who you authorize) may then securely view this event data through the InstaLink graphical interface over the Internet.

When users first login to the secure area, they are able to view their active projects. Administrators may add or delete projects as may be required.

Project Screen

After selecting a Project, users can then access the individual Monitoring Points on-site. Administrators can activate, de-activate, modify or delete monitoring points remotely as required.

Auto Call Home™ Feature

Instantel provides the features you need to quickly and easily set up remote monitoring stations and networks. The Instantel® Auto Call Home™ automated call-in feature, allows remote access to your monitor and data. Whenever an event occurs, the monitor automatically places a call to your PC and downloads event data into one central location on your hard disk drive.

Communication can be established using telephone, cellular, GSM or satellite modem connections.

Once the files are on your computer, Instantel Blastware® software enables automatic distribution of data to a wide variety of devices, such as cellular phones, pagers, PDA’s and PCs. You create "accounts" that specify what information will be sent to which recipients the entire event file, or selected data for each channel. You can also send different information to different recipients, or choose to time-delay distribution.

Instantel also has an agreement with Mobile Electron, to provide Instantel Users with turnkey wireless data communications. Mobile Electron, an Airlink communications Dealer, is the recommended provider of wireless data communications bundles for Instantel product users in North America.

"With InstaLink and cellular modems, we have been able to monitor several remote sites without having staff onhand. This has enabled us to operate our business more efficiently and provide our clients with faster, more cost-effective service. It has also made us more competitive."

"We've built what we refer to as "Seismo-bots". Working with Instantel and Mobile Electron, we have built totally self-sufficient, wireless seismograph stations that have cellular modems. These stations are deployed around construction projects and mine sites throughout the Eastern USA. They are programmed to call into our office and download their data automatically daily. The data is then sent to key project personnel via e-mail or text message via Auto Call Home and Blastware Mail features. The data is posted to the InstaLink website automatically, where it can be viewed and downloaded by key personnel at any time. The site is password protected and totally safe. We are very excited about having this capability!"
