The Technology and Engineering development undertaken by the Total Remote Control team has resulted in the creation of an integrated Embedded Mobile Web Server which has been tested across a range of platforms.

The development philosophy adopted has been to create a highly sophisticated, but easily applied, system that allows both wired and wireless M2M type applications to be brought to market with a short development cycle and with limited engineering costs.

There are a number of extremely important issues to be resolved when using Mobile Embedded Internet Technologies, one of which relates to the type of IP address supplied on connection. Service providers in the UK supply "non routable" IP addresses (via a DHCP server using NAPT techniques) which means it is extremely difficult to implement remote, mobile systems as servers. However, TRC have developed a number of well tried and tested methodologies to overcome these problems and can provide clients with an excellent range of technology and business choices, depending on their needs and applications.

The system is currently available as an embedded monitoring and control device, based around a low cost microprocessor, or as an embedded PC running a user application.

The microprocessor system is ideal for low cost applications where LCD or LED interfaces are preffered and the embedded PC option is perfect for high powered systems that require full colour graphics displays. The embedded PC is available either as a Windows XP or a Linux version.

The mobile communications technology used is either GPRS or UMTS, depending on the application and we have developed our technologies around both the SIEMENS and SAGEM product ranges.
