1 Overview
The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines allowing an integrator to design a host
product that uses the TRN-2013 MCM (Meter Communications Module) and ensures that the
system meets all of its technical objectives and requirements.
1.1 On-Ramp Wireless Total Reach Network
The On-Ramp Wireless Total Reach Network is comprised of host modules, such as TRN-2013
modules equipped with microNodes, and Access Points (APs). The network operates in the
unlicensed 2.4 GHz ISM band. The TRN-2013 circuit board is designed to easily integrate into
electric meters, through standard interfaces, enabling robust wireless communication with one
or more APs interfaced with a service provider’s local or wide area network.
