End-to-End Network Solution

Asked on Nov 28 2007 4:19:52:000PM

Q

Do you know of any companies out there who deliver the end to end solution -- wireless network to sensor installation to data capture to a robust web display from multiple data sources -- fixed or mobile? If there isn't one company who does it all, what software companies do you know that can display data from any sensor, text file, and/or location device? If you know of any resource material on this subject, please let me know.

NA, USA
AIt is not possible here to recommend any suppliers by name, but several suppliers have recently announced wireless networks and field instruments. All of these suppliers are capable of turn-key end-to-end solutions. I am not aware of any software suppliers with this capability.
