Basically there will be someone at the site full time renting the space and maintaining equipment etc. so a remote setup relies on everything being automated using a mini computer fixed to the setup so a person can connect to it anywhere in the world to use their equipment. It’s pretty cool, my old setup was almost full automated, only difference for me is I had to setup it up and take it down and do my flat frames manually.
