SmartComms™ AMR - Walk-by Radio Frequency

AMR technology to match the power and accuracy of SmartFlow™ water meters. Several data collection methods including the next-generation SmartConnect™ network.

Utilising radio technology, meter readings can be retrieved significantly faster, and all with the need for very few components. Each meter is connected to a RF transmitter using either 168, 434, 896 or 915Mhz frequencies, which sends metering information wirelessly to a hand held receiver.

Hand Held Readers

The Hand Held Unit suggested is the Windows CE version of the Psion Walkabout, but it is compatible with a number of the industry’s leading hand held data capture terminals and AMR software packages.

Sealed Transmitters

The transmitter is of a ‘sealed for life’ construction and can be used in above or below ground applications with minimal change to the operating range.
