MAX Range: Long-Distance Wireless Submetering

Tehama’s MAX Range wireless Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) products are designed for scalable, long-distance deployments. They deliver reliable performance across large, dispersed sites or properties with complex layouts and electrical limitations.

They offer up to 10 miles of communication coverage (unobstructed), reducing the need for repeaters and simplifying installation and maintenance across a wide variety of environments.

MAX Range provides dependable data transmission with fewer infrastructure points, making it a strong fit for properties that are spread out, difficult to retrofit, or constrained by physical or structural barriers.

MAX Range is a cost-effective submetering solution suited to a wide range of property types, including multi-family residences, commercial and mixed-use developments, manufactured home communities, and more.

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.
