FAQs
MAX technology provides extended-range (up to 10 miles) wireless submetering communication for larger-scale properties and industrial sites.
MAX supports up to 10-mile range, significantly greater than Standard (~1 mile), yet slightly less than LoRaWAN (10+ miles), balancing cost and coverage.
Industrial sites, large commercial campuses, warehouses, multifamily communities, and distributed facilities benefit significantly from MAX technology’s extended coverage.
MAX technology provides reliable wireless coverage up to 10 miles.
Yes, MAX technology securely encrypts transmitted data, protecting meter readings and customer information end-to-end.
In typical multifamily applications, one repeater will be installed for every 100 units. MAX typically requires fewer repeaters compared to Standard, but slightly more infrastructure than LoRaWAN, depending on terrain.
Yes, MAX seamlessly integrates with most existing metering systems, enabling incremental system upgrades.
