The i-Cell1140 is designed to fit the standard Elster A1140 meter range, and interfaces with the proprietary interface via an RJ12 connector.
It clips into place conveniently under the A1140 series terminal covers. A suitable antenna can be fitted via the flying lead or mounted remotely via an extension cable if required, to complement the internal antenna. Both internal and external antennas work together to provide signal diversity.
The i-Cell range of cellular communication products are ideal for utility, IoT, retail and many other applications because it is so compact and cost effective. Using a standard RS232/V24 interface or propitiatory with power feed, or external psu, makes this new model simple to use and flexible.
Advanced power management allows for use with most legacy and metering hosts. A suitable antenna can be fixed via the flying lead or mounted remotely via an extension cable if required. It’s small size and light weight means it needs no additional fixing and will fit under most metering terminal covers.
The i-Cell 1140 LTE modem supports worldwide LTE CATM1 & NB-loT communications as well as providing legacy 2G quad band support. lt features a maximum downlink and uplink data rate of approx 300kbps.
This next generation product supports all the new features specified by 3GPP to boost loT applications, such as Power Saving Mode (PSM) and extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX), which along with proprietary firmware from Wireless lnnovation allows the modem to wake up periodically to deliver data and then go back to sleep, providing ultra low power consumption for long term battery applications.
Wireless innovation will project manage and deliver the complete solution, from the delivery of the hardware and the integration to the customers equipment, understand the latency they can work with and the required Space Segment to meet the required latency.
