G2 Mobile Advanced AMR System
G2 Mobile is an advanced mobile AMR system that can provide billing data, consumption flags and high-resolution datalogging. These features deliver data and functionality comparable to most common AMI systems today. The scalable G2 Mobile System is a low-cost entry in AMR technology and is compatible with Metron’s water, gas and electric radio endpoints. Streamers and repeaters are available for system optimization and submetering. The radio endpoints log consumption every 5 minutes and provide extensive pre-processing of this data to identify common patters such as leaks, irrigation, backflow, etc. The endpoints can also deliver high-resolution datalogs analysis and customer service.
The M2w is a remote radio with compatibility for most water meter registers. The M2w provides 2-way RF datalogging down to 1-minute resolution and also provides data pre-processing for common consumption patterns such as leaks, high usage, backflow and zero-usage/theft.
The innov8 register can be ordered with an embedded M2w radio. This solution provides a register + radio with compatibility for most water meters. The innov8 provides all functionality of the M2w plus the convenience of a register that can improve low flow accuracy and log every rotation of the meter’s magnet.
The radio endpoints communicate via the 900 MHz ISM band. The system never requires any licensing and is designed to be immune to interference.
The radio endpoints are full transceivers and have 2-way communications with the G2 Mobile System. During normal reading operations, the endpoint radios operate in a typical one-way transmission for optimal battery life. For more advanced configuration and datalogging functions, the endpoint radios communicate in a two-way fashion.
Streamers and Repeaters provide tools to extend reception distances on the radios and also to route communications back to hard collectors or websites.
The R2 streamer is AC powered packaged within a weatherproof NEMA enclosure. It includes an R2 transceiver and ethernet and cellular output options.
The NRD repeaters are battery or AC-powered devices that repeat any valid innov8, M2w, M2g or M2e radio signal. The NRD is configurable for receive/re-transmit times to allow fine-tuning in the field.
