SCADA is an acronym which stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. It may be used for a variety of applications where work processes, voltages, load, alarms, fluid levels, or wireless remote control is required. This control may be one-way or two-way and may have tones or data of varied bandwidth based on the processes being monitored or controlled. A number of control schemes may be used, some proprietary. SCADA typically occupies the frequency range 154.45625 to 154.47875 and 173.20375 to 173.39625 MHz on VHF and, on a secondary basis, frequencies between 450 and 470 MHz. SCADA operations may also take place on 72 to 76 MHz, and on frequencies regulated by Part 101, the Fixed Microwave Services rules. Note that this rule title is a misnomer. Part 101 also covers point to point frequencies which lie outside of what is generally accepted as microwave spectrum. | SCADA is an acronym which stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition.
