Robust Communication and Integration
Meet ImGATI
An In-meter Gateway is enabled by RF and backhaul cellular communication technologies for reliable and resourceful real-time data flow that drastically reduces the dependency on standalone gateways by up to 90%
Top features
Hot Swappable
Easily and safely insert in a commissioned meter without disturbing the power flow for creating instant and reliable RF-mesh support.
Reliable data transmission
Ensures reliable, resourceful, and real-time data transfer both locally within the meter network and remotely to the central server.
Strengthen the mesh hassle-free
Adding one in-meter gateway can create upto
865-868 MHz RF band operation
Enables sustainable and scalable data collection via the license-free and globally harmonised band compatible with IoT standards.
Cellular backhaul communication
Smart meter data packets are transmitted to and received from the central server through the cellular network.
Low power consumption (4W)
Encourages energy-efficient operation while also extending the battery life of the device.
Robust hardware capacity
Under lab conditions, the new in-meter gateway supports seamless data flow between up to 150- 200 meters.
Firmware updates
Supports over-the-air (OTA) updates, making maintenance easier and enabling quick feature upgrades.
Battery support
The component has its own battery that will keep the data packets in the RF sink for up to 30 minutes in case of a power outage.
How does this help?
Avoid Gateway Vandalism
Fewer standalone gateways mean a reduced scope of physical damage, whether intended or natural.
Negligent to nil deployment planning
An economical solution that requires no cluster formation and can deliver RF-mesh communication support for a group of 2-3 meters, too, to up to 150 meters.
Uninterrupted communication
RF-mesh and cellular communication combined in a single module drives robust data flow ascertaining high performance.
Missing – Need to Update
It is an easy-to-carry component that can be installed quickly and without any major interruption.
Cost-competitive
Reduced deployment, maintenance and replacement costs make the overall solution resourceful and cost-effective.
Improved signal coverage
Add additional RF nodes quickly and without hassle to provide wider and more consistent signal coverage while reducing dead zones within the cluster.
Avoid overloading
The system’s architecture is built to support intelligent connection and routing between devices within the cluster without overloading.
Network resilience in dynamic environments
In complex environments(e.g., construction sites, industrial zones, et.al.) in-meter gateway offers the flexibility for the network to swiftly overcome layout challenges and other obstacles.
