Building connected and workable communications in remote environments presents unique challenges, but the right technology can keep users connected in even contested and harsh environments.

Using the same cable for both power and data means that power can be delivered to devices without having to wire new circuits or requiring a separate transformer that converts AC power to DC.

This paper looks at the challenges of designing a small data acquisition system that can provide hundreds of channels of measurement capability while operating in tight spaces exposed to fluids, high vibration, and extremes of temperature.
