Radius provide Butler PPD with a vital communication link to their SCADA system, through the PDR 221 UHF data radio.

The US Radius team have been working with Butler Public Power District on a fully integrated network monitoring system for their Canon SCADA System. The System was developed to monitor the load management on the network via wireless data telemetry.

Butler was organized on April 7, 1937. They currently serve approximately 6,300 customers in rural Butler and Saunders counties and the villages of Abie, Bellwood, Bruno, Dwight, Garrison, Linwood, Loma, Malmo, Octavia, Rising City, Surprise, Toughy, Ulysses and Valparaiso. They have over 1586 miles of line, 827 irrigation services, 557 wells with a total well horsepower at 33,651 horsepower with 30,321 under control.

Butler came to Radius with one objective in mind to have a reliable, cost effective communications method to monitor their network. Radius was the perfect partner for this project as they have a system robust PDR 221 data radio using the UHF frequency range to cover the large network Butler manages. Mike Hyatt for Butler PPD comments “the Radius PDR 221 has been a revelation for us making communication throughout our SCADA system seamless”.
