If you are going to use your own station, plan on the following:
Run Sutron’s AutoPoll (GPRS/CDMA) or Tempest software
(GPRS/CDMA/IRIDIUM). Consult Sutron if you have your own SW/system and
you’d like to receive directly the messages from the field stations.
Make sure you have a fixed IP for your master station and configure your firewall
to allow in the messages from the station.
15.3. Estimate Communications Costs
Download Sutron’s communications calculator
(www.sutron.com\downloads\XLinkCalculator) to estimate communication costs

interval, and transmit Interval. It computes the total bytes per month for a
station. Some examples help to show the relative costs of the communications:
