Product Description
The RT-2200, a key component of the Tantalus Utility Network, is a transceiver, which is
designed to collect data from the surrounding meters and deliver it from a single point, using
Tantalus’ ultra-efficient burst-mode technology, which enables a large number of short data
packets to be delivered at high speeds over the network.
The RT-2200 sits behind a TC-2200-equipped meter and provides two-way communications
between the Network Controller (utility) and the meter (customer).
