Combining the power of the intuitive, cloud-based Beacon advanced metering analysis software with Orion fixed network (SE) endpoint and network gateway transceiver technology, the Beacon traditional fixed network solution provides utility management with hourly interval metering data to better manage the utility and resources. This traditional point-to-point fixed network system combines two-way smart meter endpoints with fixed network gateway transceivers. This is an efficient solution for reading a high number of services from gateways installed on existing, utility-owned infrastructure.
