Inrico TM-7 Network Mobile Radio - Part 3 - Button Mapping & Radio Testing

Arqiva owns the 400 MHz band of the UK spectrum, and this relatively low frequency means that signals carry further, and will better communicate with meters situated indoors or buried underground. Furthermore, because the network is private, a single software upgrade or a time-sensitive pricing signal can be broadcast by a utility to all meters on the network in one go. Network is highly secure and transmits and receives narrow band data signals. meter contains a folded dipole and 15 year battery meter transmits measurements a few times a day to mast (3 or 4 times) when the mast receives transmissions from the meter, it can then quickly send back commands, software updates and pricing changes are sent back This is estimated to bring an end to estimated billing and the contract completed by 2020
