Repeater: Reliable Utility Data Extension in AMR Submetering Networks

Tehama’s Diversity Repeater extends the range of the automated meter reading (AMR) network by linking Meter Data Transceivers (MDTs) to Data Concentrating Access Points (DCAPs). This ensures reliable utility data transmission across large or obstructed areas.

The Repeater strengthens system reliability by extending coverage and maintaining stable data communication, even in hard-to-reach or obstructed areas. Its self-healing mesh network helps ensure consistent and accurate meter readings.

Available in Standard (1 mile per repeater) and MAX (over 10 miles) configurations, the Repeater supports scalable deployments with flexible coverage options suitable for both urban and rural properties.

Operating without internet access, the Repeater provides dependable connectivity. It features LED indicators for real-time visibility into power status and signal quality.

Repeater Devices FAQs

Repeaters extend the wireless communication range between Standard and MAX range MDT devices and DCAPs, ensuring reliable data transmission across larger or obstructed properties.

Yes, Tehama offers solar-powered repeaters, ideal for remote, off-grid, or difficult-to-wire installations.

Tehama repeaters extend range up to 1+ mile in Standard networks and up to 10 miles in MAX networks, effectively overcoming terrain and infrastructure challenges.

Repeaters require minimal maintenance, primarily consisting of periodic power checks and ensuring secure connections to the network.

Solar repeaters use solar energy, ideal for remote or inaccessible areas. Standard repeaters typically require external electrical power connections.

This depends on property size, terrain, and chosen technology. A typical installation will include one repeater for every 40 units for Standard range and one for every 100 units for MAX range.

No, LoRaWAN systems typically use gateways directly and don't require traditional repeaters.

Repeaters relay signals without significant latency, maintaining near real-time data transmission for accurate monitoring.

Yes, Tehama solar repeaters are specifically designed for durability and reliable operation in outdoor and harsh environments.

Yes, repeaters seamlessly integrate with multiple DCAPs, allowing flexible deployment configurations for extensive property coverage.
