M400B FlexNet Basestation
The FlexNet M400B basestation offers strategic communications options to deploy endpoints in remote or densely populated areas. Their efficient transceivers can transmit and receive in a 200 kHz band of spectrum which provides more dedicated data channels, more granular data and higher network capacity.
The M400B is a compact, efficient basestation designed to fit into space-constrained environments. They require fewer access points than other network architectures, making it easier to send status and usage information point-to-multipoint. Sensus licensed radio spectrum ensures optimal basestation performance, free from interference by other wireless services or radio devices. It also eliminates the risk of being taken over by emergency service providers.
The FlexNet AMI communication network connects basestations directly to endpoints across large geographic areas. This, greatly reduces the number of network backhaul connections and lowers operations and maintenance costs. The FlexNet network delivers double the transmit power of competitive systems over primary-use licensed spectrum – ensuring reliability for mission-critical applications.
M400D FlexNet Basestation
The FlexNet M400D basestation offers a strategic network communications option for smart grid deployments with high volume, diverse traffic requirements. By providing dual M400 transceivers, a single basestation 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 AMI Network and its primary-use licensed spectrum that delivers eight times the transmit power of competitive smart grid communication systems.
R100NA FlexNet Collector

A simple plug-and-play interface allows you to transfer the collected data directly into your billing system.
AutoVu AMR Software
AutoVU software enhances vehicle-based radio reading with graphic on-screen mapping for Sensus FlexNet drive-by solutions. You can set meter locations along a route to change color or disappear from view as each meter is successfully read. Instant on-screen reading verification minimizes the need to re-drive a route to obtain missed readings.
AutoVU is GPS-based for precise location and mapping. Maps automatically reposition as the vehicle moves along, reducing meter reading time and associated costs. To further orient the driver and provide more context, you can also include map layers in the display, such as street layouts and names or water system routes.
AutoRead Software
Increase operational efficiency and simplify your meter reading and billing processes with our AutoRead software package. This program gives you the flexibility to manage all of our encoder-based Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) systems through a single meter reading system. It is the ideal communications bridge for interfacing between the FlexNet communication network, AMR and TouchRead system, and your computerized billing system.
Whether your meter readers walk-by or drive-by, AutoRead delivers the most up-to-date route information. It keeps you informed about everything—from abnormally high or low readings and misreads to hazards you may encounter along the way.
AutoRead eliminates the need to manually transfer meter data to your computer. Instead, it uploads and prepares the meter data gathered from the Sensus handheld unit or Vehicle Gateway base station (VGB) so it can be transferred to your billing system. AutoRead interfaces with other PC-based or existing mainframe billing and accounting systems by passing ASCII II files back and forth.
In addition, AutoRead generates management reports that provide an overview of your utility’s meter reading activities, staff activities and service issues. Statistical reports show you how much time elapses between meter readings, as well as the date and time that each reading occurred. This information can help you gauge meter readers’ progress and determine if routes should be reorganized to match their individual performance levels.
