netRadio™ enhanced data capability
The netRadio™ AMR device collects data by wire attachment to pulse output or encoded register meters. Using Metre Pro Technologies' patented emulation process, the netRadio™ stores accurate meter reading data. The data stored in the netRadio™ is accessed by mobile (drive-by) or fixed (cluster) systems. The frequency of storing reads in the netRadio™ is easily programmed, using radio communications. Readings can be stored monthly or as often as once a minute, allowing storage and radio transmission of a single reading or an extensive array of logged data.

netRadio™ unique battery conservation
The netRadio™ is a transceiver, with full two-way communication protocols, resulting in an important operational improvement over other radio AMR systems. The device stays in a totally quiescent mode, conserving battery power until its scheduled operation window occurs. Data is then transmitted only when a unique interrogation code is received. The netRadio™ operation schedule can be updated every time it is accessed. This scheduled operation feature enables the netRadio™ to conserve power and yet offer features exceeding other radio AMR systems. Battery status is reported each time the device is read.

netRadio™ powerful broadcast characteristics
The netRadio™ operates in the unlicensed ISM band under FCC part 15.247 and 15.249, broadcasting up to a full one watt of power. The receiver antenna is precisely tuned and noise filtered to enhance performance in difficult urban environments. Although local conditions can have an effect on RF operations, the netRadio™ has the power and sensitivity to provide an excellent range in all environments, including pit-sets.

netRadio™ application flexibility
The flexibility you need is built-in to the netRadio™. You can mix and match meters that best fit your requirements. You can upgrade "in the ground" pulse and encoder type registers. You can read by drive-by using a laptop computer. A unique cluster reading system may be implemented using the netCollector™, soon to be released by Metre Pro Technologies,. The netCollector™ has a built in transceiver and internet interface.
