Chapter 1 Introduction
This manual provides technical information for the line of radios used in the UtiliNet® Wireless System.
Included are photos, specifications, diagrams, and accessories for each radio type as well as detailed
information on applications using the radios and other related information.
System Overview
UtiliNet is a comprehensive wireless data communications solution that utilizes spread-spectrum radios in
the 902-928 MHz area of the radio spectrum to provide reliable network answers for remote telemetry or
distributed control applications. UtiliNet radios combine three important technologies: a mesh architecture
for peer-to-peer communications and true networking functionality, asynchronous spread spectrum
frequency hopping for maximum use of bandwidth, and packet switching for guaranteed message transfer
and automatic store-and-forward routing.
Figure 1.1 UtiliNet Technologies
These three technologies work together to ensure that UtiliNet networks are fast (up to 19200 bps), operate
transparently, and are reliable in the delivery of all data messages. These are the key advantages of
UtiliNet.
