The efficient transceiver can transmit and receive in a 200kHz band of spectrum. 200kHz enables more dedicated channels, resulting in higher network capacity, allowing more granular data and more channels of data. And the Sensus FlexNet communication network delivers double the transmit power of competitive systems over primary -use licensed spectrum -ensuring reliability for mission critical applications. The tower -based architecture enables reliable communication of status and usage information with fewer access points than other network architectures.These compact, efficient base stations fit in space -constrained environments and require no air conditioning. Licensed Radio Spectrum In North America, FCC/IC protected primary -use spectrum avoids competition with other wireless services, interference from other radio devices and the risk of being taken over by emergency service providers. Fewer Access Points Our point-to-multipoint architecture directly connects base stations to endpoints over large geographic areas -greatly reducing the number of network backhaul connections as well as O&M costs. APPLICATIONS Resilient Network Design • Two-way Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI) • Distribution Automation (DA) • Demand Response (DR) • Home Area Networks 0 -IAN) • Sensus VantagePointe Lighting Control Sensus Base Stations continue to provide real time data during outages and emergencies because of eight hour plus battery backup - enabling better workforce management and faster service restoration.
