SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING ENVIRONMENTAL MEASUREMENTS AND FOR TRANSFERRING MEASUREMENT RESULTS
First Claim
1. A system for performing environmental measurements and for transferring measuring data, wherein the system comprises a plurality of base stations of a cellular radio system, the base stations comprising means for transferring data in the cellular radio system, a plurality of environmental measuring stations each being connected to one of the plurality of base stations, the measuring stations comprising measuring means for performing environmental measurements, and control means for transferring measuring data to the respective base station that it is connected to for transferring the measuring data further over said cellular radio system, and each said environmental measuring station is physically placed on the same site as the base station that it is connected to and is physically connected to the respective base station, a central equipment connected to the cellular radio system for collecting environmental measuring data from the plurality of environmental measuring stations through the base stations of the cellular radio system, and terminal devices of the cellular radio system for receiving data relating to the environmental measurements via the cellular radio system.

Abstract
Automatic environmental measuring stations (10, 10a, 10b, 10c) are connected in a physical connection with base stations (11; 11a; 11b; 11 c) of a cellular radio system which stations measure certain basic phenomena of the atmosphere and/or the concentrations of certain substances in the air. The information of the measurements is transferred using a base station over the cellular radio system to a central equipment (14) either as regular reports or as acute alarms if any alarm limit is exceeded. The information may also be transmitted over the base station of the cellular radio system to mobile stations (15) in the area of the base station in the form of individually tailored reports and alarms.

7. A method for performing environmental measurements and for transferring measuring data, wherein the method comprises the steps of
performing environmental measurements in connection with a base station of a cellular radio system and physically on the same site where the base station is located, transferring results representative of the measured environmental data forward to the base station in order to transfer said results further over said cellular radio system, collecting said results at a central location from the environmental measuring station through the base station of the cellular radio system, and transferring data relating to the environmental measurements to a terminal device of the cellular radio system.
