Remote Omni Antenna
The Remote Omni Antenna is an ideal form of radio transmission for meter reading; it emits a true omni-directional signal, so the radio propagation is evenly distributed (as shown in the graph below).
Radio propagation studies for water utilities are more accurate when utilizing omni-directional antennas. Highly accurate propagation data also enables AMR network providers to supply a clear overview / map of the water meter radio coverage.
The Remote Omni Antenna installs to the underside of Nicor Read-Rite® Polymer Lids. This helps to protect it from the harsh conditions in water meter pits.
DETAILS
- Operates on the unlicensed 900MHz radio frequency, so it’s easy to incorporate into existing AMR radio-read systems
- Utilizes a ground plane to secure conductivity and reduce resistance for optimal transmission power
- Installed to the underside of Nicor Read-Rite® Lids to safeguard the antenna from standing water and other challenging meter pit elements
