Providing "web to wireless" solutions
ROM hosts an interactive Server on the World Wide Web (WWW) and maintains a direct network connection (TCP/IP) to the wireless service providers. Each Micro-Com unit is assigned a secured encrypted Web page that is customized by the end user and password protected. ROM removes the burden from our customers of maintaining dedicated servers, databases, backup systems and specialized software.

Customized web pages

Interaction by customers with their own customized web pages provide the ability to control operating parameters and alarm points, examine and retrieve data, and control remote devices. Easy to use and interactive web pages linked to an industrial database make checking the temperature and the status of the hot water tank at the cottage easier then paying bills on-line.

 

Custom Application/Database Integration

ROM Communications Inc., a Microsoft Certified Solutions Provider (MCSP) has the technical resources to provide a full range of custom application and database integration services

 

Providing Ubiquity

Recognizing that we are not always “online” and in fact that many people may have limited or no access to the Internet, ROM’s products and services do not require Internet access to be beneficial to those who are "cyberly" challenged. Once set up, the user’s Web page will interact with the primary server and deliver notification, reports and exception events directly to the user by e-mail, pager, fax, or phone.

 

Communication Technologies

In today’s rapidly advancing world, there is little question as to the importance of reliable communication systems for the exchange of data and information. Communication systems and methods have evolved dramatically over the past few years to meet the growing needs and demands for new services. Traditional methodologies have utilized various systems or combinations of switched telephone landlines, various wireless technologies including UHF, VHF, and microwave radio, satellite up-links, fibre optics, and cellular telephone systems.

 

Communication Mediums 

ROM is presently utilizing two communication mediums, a Low Earth Orbiting Satellite Network for remote and unpopulated areas and a Control Channel Signalling System 7 (SS7) Cellular Network for urban corridors. Both systems share similar characteristics in that they use short data bursts from a wireless receiver/transmitter to a network, which is then directed, to the ROM Operations Centre (ROC). While both systems are a very cost effective means of conveying small amounts of data reliably with very good coverage, the control channel technology is considerably less expensive to operate and will be the ROM’s primary communication method.
