Overview
The VSP3 is a radio interface that converts data into voice messages that can be transmitted via a UHF or VHF transceiver. It allows customers to call their site using a hand-held radio and receive a verbal report of real-time site conditions.
The VSP3 uses phonetic native text-string-to-speech conversion, which provides for an unlimited vocabulary.
Ideal applications include fire weather, avalanche forecasting, local weather monitoring, irrigation control, water level monitoring, water quality, and industrial process control.
Technical Description
The VSP3 Vosponder, manufactured by DACOM Technologies, Inc., allows customers to call their site using a hand-held UHF or VHF radio and receive a verbal report of real-time site conditions. Ideal applications include fire weather, avalanche forecasting, local weather monitoring, irrigation control, water level monitoring, water quality, and industrial process control.
Customers initiate voice transmissions by pressing buttons on a hand-held radio. Once initiated, the Vosponder uses an SDI-12 interface to collect raw digital data from a Campbell Scientific data logger. The Vosponder then converts the collected data into natural human speech and recites a verbal message.
Benefits
- Broadcasts voice data to a hand-held radio with a matching radio frequency
- Converts data from SDI-12 compatible data loggers, data acquisition systems, or sensors into voice messages
- Provides unlimited vocabulary
