Based on embedded Linux, the firmware
sits at the heart of ARMADA®, and is
responsible for collecting input from all
the sensors, and sending/receiving data
streams. To address various kind of
complex telemetry problems, the design
of the firmware is kept modular.
ARMADA is designed to keep the traffic
input to a bare minimum. The hardware is
capable of receiving simultaneous data
streams from 23 different type of devices
on a remote location at sampling rate of
64000 samples per second. Based upon
the granularity and precision of the
sending.
ARMADA® a highly customizable device.
The device can easily be updated by using
XML API’s (Application Programming
Interface) without having to program the
whole firmware.
The collected sensor data is encapsulated
in XML data stream making it highly
compatible with all the different database
engines of different vendors e.g. MySQL®,
Oracle®, MSSQL® etc. The format of the
XML packet can be customized on the go
using the firmware API.

Based upon the level of security required

2
for a particular application, the firmware is
capable of encrypting the data streams.
The format of encryption is chosen to be
the industry 128 bit AES encryption.
In order to make ARMADA® fault tolerant,
the firmware keeps polling the connection
health of each connection. If a problem
with the connection is found at the sensor
end, the firmware resets that particular I/O
port. If the problem still exists after the
port reset, the firmware marks the port as
faulty and generate an alarm. This alarm is
updated at the central location. If there is
found to be a problem with the GPRS link,
the firmware automatically resets the
GPRS radio link. Upon failure to reconnect
again, the system either chooses to update
the system via SMS, or the microwave if
configured.

 WHY CHOOSE ARMADA?
ARMADA® is a result of a unique collaboration between TechVixion, a company
specializing in telecom products, and Ches, Pakistan, a company with years of
experience of manufacturing all sort of fuel tanks for various mobile operators

As a result, the products is not only state of the art in itself, but also the design caters
for different applications of fuel tank, the installation difficulties and roughest of
environments.

The advantage of choosing ARMADA® is not only the product, but the team. The
experience gained by CHES Pakistan in manufacturing fuel tanks enables the
ARMADA team to cater for all sort of fuel tanks installed at the remote sites already.
