For the last 7 years they have been using Radius as their first choice for there data telemetry needs.

Recently Dee Valley Water have been making some improvements to their communication systems, so when they heard about Radius’ new PDR121 data radio they were one of the first companies to order data radios as part of their data telemetry upgrade programme.

The different topographical locations which Dee Valley Water operate in provide a perfect example of the versatility of the Data Radio’s. One such site is their main pumping and water reserve centre found near to the Chester City centre. This site is also used as Dee Valleys SCADA control centre, from which all substations and water treatment centres are monitored.
