Redefining Smart Utility Communications
Sensus FlexNet® communication network is a long-range radio network that provides a scalable and reliable two-way communications infrastructure. Working with smart meters and sensors, FlexNet securely transmits and receives customer usage data. You can use that data to proactively manage your electric, water and gas systems.
Unlike other utility networks that operate on costly power line infrastructures or low-powered, shared radio frequencies, FlexNet technology offers primary use radio spectrum, which is protected by law from interference. Sensus bundles the spectrum into the network solution to deliver you better performance, including:
- No frequency sharing.
In other words, no interference with data transmission – giving you 100% control of your data transmissions. While other networks fight interference and signal noise in shared bands, FlexNet transmits with a clarity and security that is protected by federal law in the U.S.
- The highest signal power and range in the industry.
FlexNet can transmit at up to two watts – potentially 10 to 1000 times more power than devices on unlicensed point-to-point spectrum. The FlexNet communication network can transmit up to 40 miles from point to point.
- More reliable communications.
FlexNet’s dedicated highway for data transmission makes communication more reliable than other systems that require channel hopping over radio frequencies.
- Large geographical footprint.
FlexNet operates on 900MHz spectrum owned by Sensus.
Improve operational efficiencies and quickly identify leaks, tampering, equipment problems, outages or other abnormalities using the customer data you collect. This true two-way network also lets you remotely update/upgrade SmartPoint® modules, conduct on-demand readings and disconnect/connect devices. The range of the point-to-multipoint network reduces the number of access points required to capture and transmit data. And by using the FlexNet communication network, you can support multiple applications that increase operational efficiency and customer engagement.

OVERVIEW
FEATURES
The FieldLogic™ Software Suite simplifies programming and reading endpoints for field personnel, so they can be more productive. The suite consists of FieldLogic Hub and two FieldLogic Tools applications: FieldLogic Connect and FieldLogic Read.
FieldLogic Hub is a PC-based application that manages hand-held devices used for programming or reading FlexNet or RadioRead endpoints. The Hub tool loads utility-defined information packages that control hand-held functionality and reduce the time required for field personnel to perform tasks. This tool also helps you manage reading routes and load them onto hand-held devices. After collecting readings, Hub exports information to your billing system.
FieldLogic Tools:
FieldLogic Connect is an application that communicates with and programs endpoints. It uses preconfigured settings to simplify installation and eliminate guesswork so installers can work faster with fewer errors. On-board route management files capture endpoint details to ensure data integrity. The Connect tool can also deactivate devices and troubleshoot endpoints and meters.
FieldLogic Read software collects meter reading data from endpoints and alerts field personnel when alarms need investigation. The Read tool supports multiple communications protocols. By simultaneously reading FlexNet and RadioRead technologies, field personnel don’t need to carry multiple devices.
