Smart Antenna Technology Enhances AMI Network Reliability
Published on by Naizam (Nai) Jaffer, Municipal Operations Manager (Water, Wastewater, Stormwater, Roads, & Parks) in Technology
Master Meter’s Allegro™ AMI Network is a robust RF communication network that interfaces between a water utility and their residential and business customers.
The tower based system operates in the licensed 450MHz – 470MHz frequency spectrum offering superior reliability and extensive geographic reach.
The plugâ€andâ€play nature of the system means that installation is easy and intuitive as the Endpoints and repeaters will automatically match the base station’s preâ€programmed frequency pairs and with the backhaul connected via cellular network, interval data will be transmitted along a reliable and stable path.
The 2â€way system offers a rich set of security features and is endâ€toâ€end upgradable. Also, the proprietary RF protocol incorporates a timeâ€synced system to alleviate network RF collision while providing timeâ€stamped data. The result is the most effective and dependable water-focused AMI network available.
