SCADA sewage control no day at the beach

摘要

Florida's Orange County has 100 days of lightening per year, is hot and humid, gets heavy rain and wind, and has lots of vegetation. They all play havoc with radio systems. Nonetheless, the county uses a new state-of-the-art radio-based SCADA to automate the monitoring and control of 600 sewage lift systems connecting to three wastewater treatment plants that has grown from 300 to 600 in a short time because of a burgeoning population.
