My question, in this weak GPRS network area, what is the most practical/common way to FTP push the data:

1. FTP every 15 minutes when one data received, and retry every 2 minutes. Will there be any issues of sending FTP so many times in a day?
2. Accumulate the data and then FTP once every day, and retry every 5 minutes. Will there be any issues of sending FTP such a large file in a weak network with frequent breaks? Which is the preferred method?

Advance thanks!

Good afternoon Orange,

Either way you are going to have problems. The best option would be to increase the signal strength.

Is there an aerial option that would add a few DB to the signal strength? Or maybe a more directional or higher aerial position that would give you a better signal?

Cheers,
Roger
