Wireless Benefits

Since 1982, Remote Control Technology has helped water utilities, agricultural operations, and industrial facilities replace expensive control wiring with
reliable wireless systems. Below are the core benefits our customers see when they make the switch.

By eliminating the need for wire and conduit, many of the associated legal and financial difficulties are eradicated. Remote Control Technology’s line of dependable, durable wireless remote switching systems can and will make money for you and your business.

Wireless remote control benefits include:

Higher Profits

Our switching systems eliminate the costly, labor-intensive process of trenching and laying wire. Enjoy a 200% or more profit in this facet alone.

Cost Savings

Wire and conduit are expensive and high maintenance. Wear-and-tear, digging, rodent damage, etc., are typical problems that can damage wire.

Less Theft/Loss

With a wireless system, there is no copper wire to steal. As the price of copper increases, so does the possibility that your wire will be stolen.

Fewer Servicing Issues

RCT switching systems eliminate a majority of maintenance and servicing issues by automating the job.

Reliability & Compatibility

All components in a project must interface well and have the utmost reliability. Our equipment is highly compatible with standard equipment used in most industries and is unparalleled in reliability with programmable logic controllers (PLCs), various switches and relays, etc.

Extended Range

Unlike much of the equipment on the market, Remote Control Technology’s wireless remote equipment has long-range communication capabilities — up to 5 miles.

No FCC Licensing Required

RCT equipment does not require FCC licensing, whereas much of the other equipment on the market does. This is a significant benefit, as the FCC licensing process alone may take up to 8 weeks.

Fewer Legal Issues

Obtaining access to or traversing properties with hard lines is extremely difficult.
