Sensus FlexNet - Model M400D - Base Station Brochure
The M400D FlexNet base station offers a strategic network communications option for smart grid deployments with high volume, diverse traffic requirements. By providing dual M400 transceivers, a single base station can simultaneously support communications for both AMI meter reading systems and high value applications such as distribution automation (DA), demand response (DR), home area network (HAN) and smart lighting control while transmitting and receiving in a 200 kHz band of spectrum. This bandwidth enables more dedicated channels and higher network traffic capacity, allowing the M400D to take full advantage of the FlexNet communication network and its primary-use licensed spectrum that delivers eight times the transmit power of competitive smart grid communication systems.
