Microwave and Radio Frequency
For equipment based in remote locations such as airfields and large industrial complexes where line of site is possible,
microwave or RF transmitters provide a very reliable and inexpensive method of sending information over long distances in circumstances where cabling is impractical.

Internet and Intranet
Making full use of Internet protocols and the incredible power and flexibility of the World Wide Web is at the forefront of all high technology systems.
Astec have fully embraced this revolution in communications technology and full use is made of all its advantages.
CCTV images, databases and alarm information, servicing and spares are all operated via the Internet.
The ability to place information on any computer anywhere has made CCTV more flexible and powerful.
Report generators and management tools can be run from any location. This is true flexibility and system power.

Fibre Optics
Astec use fibre optics extensively in environments where interference in likely and also where it is necessary to transmit large signals
over long distances or multiple frequencies and protocols to the same location.
Using multiplex technology, a combination of laser and infrared light sources allows a vast array of available options when planning large scale and long distance communications.
