1.1 Overview

The AP is the core component of the Ingenu Total Reach Network (TRN) and TRN base station

solutions. It provides the functionality of an RF transceiver, a data processor, and a data router.

The RF transceiver operates in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz ISM band on one of thirty eight 1 MHz

channels. The AP utilizes Time Division Duplexing and Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum with

Ingenu’s’ proprietary Random Phase Multiple Access (RPMA) modulation technique. The

maximum transmit power of the AP’s transceiver (at the antenna connector) is +30 dBm (1

Watt). GPS is used for timing and synchronization.

All endpoint devices designed with On-Ramp Total Reach Network technology communicate

directly with TRN base stations installed on existing communication towers, rooftops,

streetlights, substations, and other elevated sites to collect data or control the endpoint

devices. Base station networks are designed and deployed to meet coverage, capacity, and

redundancy objectives.
