| New wireless automatic meter reading system E-Mon announces the addition of a wireless mesh communication system for automatic meter reading, AMR. The wireless AMR system is a mesh communication network that allows facility managers to monitor and bill for actual energy usage and evaluate energy consumption from submeters without wiring or communication cabling. Building owners and managers obtain interval energy data from E-Mon D-Mon Class 4100 meters and associated E-Mon software. Class 4100 meters are equipped with self-configuring, peer-to-peer, multi-hopping wireless transceivers that intelligently route energy data between meters and the central data storage unit. The Wireless Gateway, located inside the metered building, stores the interval energy data until downloaded via Ethernet or Internet using E-Mon's wireless meter reading software. Mesh networking technology provides wireless meter-to-meter and meter-to-gateway communication eliminating the need for additional transmitting devices and costly communication cabling. Additionally, the system will automatically configure each component to function with the network, minimizing set-up and reducing maintenance requirements. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
