CellTrackIT System Concept.
RAMAR Technology’s product entry into the submetering market consists of
the CellTrackIT system. With this new technology RAMAR plans to capitalize
on the growing need within the utilities market to submeter apartment
complexes.
The CellTrackIT is a cost effective entry product designed to operate as a cell
network with up to 500 TransPondIT meter interface units (MIUs). It consists
of three types of functional components: the transponders, repeaters, and
node receiver unit connected to a Personal Computer (figure 1).

units and the terrain makeup of area covered determine the size of the
network.
