SCADA systems, acronym for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems are supervisory systems that have made automated tasks more reliable and efficient without having need of human to intervene or handle any stage of process.

Thus, SCADA systems are also known as closed loop systems as they operate of their own and response to change in parameter value/ state beyond permissible values. Also, there is always a possibility of human intervention as per the need that provides flexibility to SCADA systems. Due to high range of flexibility, reliability and efficiency SCADA systems have found their applications in control systems (electricity control systems, water sewerage systems), radio transmissions (long distance Scada GSM). 

Even daily routine equipments have not left untouched by this tremendous technology and many SCADA compatible equipments like water metering pumps have flooded markets.

SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. SCADA can be thought of as a system which is designed to collect data from the sensors located in remote locations, such as various areas of a plant, factory or at any other remote location and then sending the data collected to a main computer which controls and manages the data.

SCADA has finds its application in wide range of industries from electric power, water management systems, environmental control systems, mass transportation or manufacturing systems.

A SCADA system can be divided into following parts: Signal hardware (for both output as well as input), controllers, user interface (also known as HMI), networks, and software along with communication equipment. In general, SCADA means entire system with the common goal to collect, manage and control the data.

If the project encompasses large area to be surveyed and human surveillance in not possible in such case, then one needs long distance SACDA radio networks to be employed for sending the data collected from remote sensors to central unit. 

When area under surveillance is hundreds of kilometres such as in case of petroleum pipeline, the only feasible solution is long distance Scada GSM.  Most important requisite for long range Scada GSMs is ability to transmit the data to long distance.

For such purposes, repeaters are used as line of sight is limited to 5 miles. Repeaters are radio transmitters which act as boosters for signals as signals tend to get weak after travelling certain amount of distance. Thus repeaters boost the attenuated signals and again transmit them to next repeater/ central system.
