RF Mesh Module
The AetherLink RF Mesh Module provides a plug-in wireless communications option for compatible smart meters and IoT field devices. It supports RF mesh networking, frequency hopping, automatic network recovery and remote upgrades. These functions support field communications and ongoing software maintenance within the selected network implementation. The operating band, host interface and gateway compatibility are configuration-specific. RF mesh should therefore be treated as a defined project architecture, with the module, host firmware and network equipment selected and validated together.
Host interfaces, operating bands and the delivered configuration are agreed for each project. Contact Archai to confirm your module requirements.
Key features
- Provides the communications function for compatible meters and field devices in an RF mesh implementation.
- Supports operation across frequencies within the configured radio network.
- Supports restoration of network connectivity following a disturbance, subject to network and host behaviour.
- Supports remote software maintenance through the implemented communications and management process.
Application and integration
Network and gateway
- Specify the required mesh implementation and validate interoperability with the gateway and host firmware.
Radio configuration
- Confirm the operating band, antenna arrangement, installation conditions and regional requirements.
Software maintenance
- Agree upgrade control, version compatibility and recovery behaviour for the complete host and network implementation.
Applications
- Wireless AMI and field-device networks that specify an RF mesh communications architecture.
