General Description:
EndPoint is a miniature unit designed specifically to connect an individual meters
to an AMI backbone over the Mobix patented n-Dimensional Network.
This low cost, battery powered unit utilizes non-licensed RF thus the most economical
and efficient way to provide two-way communications with a smart meter.
At the core of the unit is a powerful Micro Controller driving the physical two-way RF
interface, the meter pulse collection and the optional valve control.
The EndPoint’s adaptable RF layer is capable to transmit in several different standards
(e.g., compatible with W-Mbus, ZigBee 915). EndPoint is a node in the mesh network
formed by the Mobix n-Dimensional network.
