Allegro AMI Fixed Network
Master Meter’s Allegro™ AMI Network is a robust RF communication network that interfaces between a water utility and their residential and business customers. The tower-based system operates in the licensed 450MHz – 470MHz frequency spectrum offering superior reliability and extensive geographic reach.
The plug‐and‐play nature of the system means that network implementation is simple and intuitive, with endpoints and repeaters pairing easily with the pre‐programmed frequency of the Allegro Base Station. Timely leak, tamper and other alerts, along with hourly consumption information is communicated securely through existing cellular data networks.
The proprietary RF protocol incorporates a time‐synced system to alleviate network RF collision while providing time‐stamped data. The result is the most effective and dependable water-focused AMI network available.
"Allegro proactively empowers both the utility and consumer to be better managers and stewards of water"
UTG
Patented Under-the-Glass (UTG) register delivers powerful AMI network results without wires or connections for simplified deployment
Interoperable
Allegro UTG is built on the Interpreter register platform to work with any competitor meter
Patented
The endpoint Smart Antenna™ automatically adjusts the RF signal if performance-robbing water is present (flooded pits).
ROI
The UTG register lowers long term ownership cost by reducing maintenance hassles, and speeds up the deployment process.
Reach
Allegro’s extensive geographic RF reach means more coverage in less deployment time, and reduced cost.
Two-way
Full communication between the utility and the customer provides for in-demand reads, responsive alerts, and firmware upgrades.
