Advanced Walk-by/Drive-by Radio System for Data Collection

Sensus RF radio provides a pathway to move from mobile reading in walk-by/drive-by systems to fixed infrastructure for remote reading of end points, without any changes to the end points themselves. With our repeaters and gateways, you can extend radio coverage up to thousands of end points.

It offers two communication modes. It delivers essential information fast and reliably, using a uni-directional, Bubble UP (BUP) data packet, which delivers meter reading and alarm information. Or upon request, we can provide extended data sets with the bi-directional mode (Listen After Talk [LAT]). Using bi-directional communication, it is possible to retrieve selected data including a full data logger history. This capability enables remote configuration of alarm levels, alarm resets and other settings.

Handle Up To 1000 End Points

The Gateway can handle up to 1000 Endpoints (meters). At 868 MHz the distance to the meter Endpoint is line of sight 500 m, under normal conditions outside a building 50m to 300m, hard conditions e.g. pit installation 20m to 100m. The distance to SensusRF Radio Repeaters can be more than 1 km LoS (Line of sight) at 868 MHz and up to 350 m LoS at 433 MHz.
