Open Architecture

Our system is based on an open software and hardware architecture and can be adapted to the specific needs of each user

It is easily upgradable thanks to its modular design and dynamic web interface

The Right Hardware

6

Our computer system hardware uses the latest technologies to reduce the size of its components

This hardware is designed to operate in extreme conditions without the need for additional cooling fans

Despite its small size, our PC can be connected to any external device such as USB (WiFi keys, webcam, bar code readers, smart card readers, etc.)

The Right Equipment

7

Our equipment is multi-modem compatible, which reduces transmission interruptions due to GSM/GPRS/EDGE network disruption

Our touch screens operate with the ELO TouchSystem and high definition TVS designed specifically for industrial use

Power up/power down of our equipment is entirely automatic thanks to a stand-alone battery-powered monitoring system

8

As a result of the optimized operating system used in our computers, we have eliminated the need for hard disks

The CompactFlash storage we use has no moving parts, is much less sensitive to high temperatures and minimizes problems due to vibrations and impacts

This system is Windows 9x/XP compatible and can be customized to meet your specific requirements

CompactFlash Storage

A Permanent Connection

9

Data transfer to our servers uses GSM GPRS/EDGE/3G (General Packet Radio Service) technology to allow for an open connection and real-time data uploading

Instantaneous messaging solutions can also be implemented

For greater reliability, we recommend the use of two GPRS connections with two modems and two distinct operators

A Unique Operating system

10

Our unique operating system is based on Microsoft Embedded Systems technology which we have adapted for use with our services

This system is designed to eliminate disk-write operations (Enhanced Write Filter) thereby increasing the life of the hardware and ensuring its stability

This operation eliminates risks of system corruption when shutting down the system with a circuit breaker

Telephony and VoIP

11

The existing connections can be used for hands-free telephony

In a one-modem configuration, data transfer is interrupted during the call

A VoIP exchange can be installed to eliminate the costs of telephone calls

Secure Web Interface

12

The web interface is used for daily operations and system administration

It offers a number of statistical features, lets you display and process downloaded data and monitor all system activity at all times

The numerous web interface modules we have developed can be easily integrated into your specific solution

In addition, our software developers can design and implement customized applications to ensure your system remains as open as possible

Automatic system updates are performed daily via the Internet

Simplified Maintenance

13

In order to simplify maintenance related activities, we operate a web site dedicated to customer support and trouble-shooting

Our equipment is fitted with detectors that notify our monitoring systems if a malfunction occurs

High Internet Availability

14

The NetControl Internet platform is accessible via any computer connected to the network

The dedicated connection runs at 100 MB/sec and uses BGP4 technology in two DataCenters to ensure high availability

The CISCO network equipment is doubled to reduce downtime risks and secure our platform

NetControl has chosen HP as their server supplier because they ensure support in less than 4 hours if hardware failure occurs

All our servers are protected by redundant power supplies and a twin-channel UPS system

Data are stored on a RAID 5 file server
