What is an RF mesh?
An rf mesh system for smart metering is an infrastructure built to remotely collect data from multi-utility meters including heat, cooling, water, gas and electricity. Using two-way communication, the network communicates with different meter types and makes.
How does RF mesh work?
Unlike cellular, RF mesh uses unlicensed communications frequencies (at 868 or 915 MHz). This means that you can create your own private network wherever you like, as long as the network complies with existing standards and the communications frequencies are approved in the country of use.
What does mesh mean on a smart meter?
communication
MESH – Indicates communication through another S2 comms hub. HAN – Indicates communication of the electricity, gas meter and IHD with the comms hub. GAS – Indicates gas meter HAN connectivity.
What is a Gridstream RF meter?
Gridstream RF is a multi-functional solution supporting advanced multi-energy metering, personal energy management and distribution automation applications.
How does a RF Mesh system work for smart meters?
An rf mesh system for smart metering is an infrastructure built to remotely collect data from multi-utility meters including heat, cooling, water, gas and electricity. Using two-way communication, the network communicates with different meter types and makes.
How does the GridStream RF Mesh Network work?
At the center of the Gridstream RF Mesh solution is a true mesh, peer-to-peer network in which each endpoint, device and router communicate in a peer-to-peer fashion, extending the coverage and reliability of the network.
What are the benefits of a RF Mesh network?
A globally recognized wireless network model, the RF Mesh consists of flexible radio nodes that operate in a self-guided, resilient manner. The main RF Mesh benefit is that it can connect utility customers with smart grid systems in the densest and most complicated urban environments,…
