Telemetering: meaning, definitions and examples
📡
telemetering
[ tɛˈlɛmɪtərɪŋ ]
remote measurement
Telemetering refers to a technology that allows for the remote measurement and transmission of data, typically from a distant source or location to a receiving station. This can involve collecting various types of data, including temperature, pressure, or electrical consumption, and sending it via wires or wirelessly for analysis. It is widely used in fields such as meteorology, environmental monitoring, and engineering to facilitate data collection without requiring physical presence at the measurement site.
Synonyms
data transmission, remote sensing, telemetry.
Examples of usage
- The telemetering system in the weather station provides real-time data.
- Telemetering technology is essential for efficient power grid management.
- Scientists use telemetering to monitor remote wildlife habitats.

Etymology
The word 'telemetering' is derived from the root 'tele-', meaning 'distant' or 'remote', and 'meter', which comes from the Greek word 'metron', meaning 'measure'. The prefix 'tele-' is often used in words related to communication or measurement over long distances. The concept of telemetering evolved with advances in technology, particularly in the early 20th century as electrical engineering and telecommunications began to develop rapidly. The technology allows for the collection and transmission of data from remote locations, contributing significantly to fields such as meteorology and environmental science. As technology has progressed, telemetering has come to encompass a wide range of applications, including health monitoring systems and industrial automation.
