Cellular and DNP3

I was just at the Distributech show earlier this week - the show for power utilities. Lots of interest in cellular access. I know both OSI and Itron have successfully tested their software against our cellular product.

I have a DNP3 RTU up on my public cellular device, but need to confirm details of how the public can access it. I also had a discussion with the primary provider of DNP3 source code in the world and we will be looking at putting a DNP3 slave simulator up via cellular. It would be really userful if this could expose some of the statistical & diagnostic info managed by the simulator. This would help software vendors fine tune their software to handle the variable latency of cellular.
