Why "wireless" fuel management?

Most fuel islands are wired for power and data, so what is the big deal about "wireless" technology?
The big deal about wireless technology is that it doesn't require trenching across the concrete slab from the office to the fuel island to run new cables. Most computer networks run on Catagory V (Cat-5) network cable. This means that a customer must spend the money to run new Cat 5 cable (in conduit) to the fuel island to add new equipment or change existing. This is very costly. I was at a site last month where there was a distance of 500 feet between the office and the island. That's a lot of trenching.
SCI's wireless technology gets it's power from the pump. We then connect to a network via 802.11 wireless communication. That is why it only takes about 4 hours to install our system. This also saves time and money for the customer because their fuel island is not down for several days.
SCI brought wireless fuel management technology to the U.S. Check out the website at www.sciww.com to get more information on how SCI can help your business.
