FlexNet, by Sensus, offers a superior AMI platform solution for all utilities who demand unmatched customer service and intelligent use of their resources.

FlexNet empowers electricity, gas and water utilities with a proven path to increase meter reading efficiency, reduce overhead costs and enhance customer service. FlexNet operates simply, reliably and with unlimited flexibility. Our technology serves as the communications platform for today's Smart Utility, providing superior solutions that meet current needs, without limiting future opportunities.

Simple Communications
FlexNet's direct meter-to-receiver architecture provides a single tier, flat communication structure. This eliminates store-and-forward schemes complicated by routing databases, hopping algorithms and loss-prone data passing.

FlexNet's tower-based architecture is quickly deployed. This allows a turn-key build-out when used in tandum with Sensus-provided master tower agreements with a nationwide network of existing towers, which eliminates easement and access issues.

Reliable Data Delivery
No frequency sharing, no interference, no problems - Period! Operating from a dedicated frequency license awarded by the FCC, FlexNet gives utilities a clear the path for data transmission. This exclusive feature provides clients with the highest RF power in the industry. Two watts of power at your fingertips, increasing range and reliability on endpoint-to-tower communications. While others fight interference in shared bands, our clients transmit with a clarity and security that's protected by Federal law.

Flexible and Secure Operations
Whether your utility is rural or urban, or electric, gas or water, FlexNet delivers superior communications on a secure network with staged-deployment to the meters you need to read, and much, much more.

FlexNet is flexible to meet your current and changing needs. Distribution Automation, Load Control, Demand Response, Leak Detection and Home Automation Networks are just some of the exciting options available today. Leverage the power of two (2) full watts of transmission power - not milli-watts - on a secure network that reaches more meters with less communication infrastructure.

The Sensus FlexNet Advantage
"Direct and Dependable" - That's what FlexNet customers say about the benefits of using an FCC Licensed and protected frequency in combination with industry open standards and simple, AES-256 encryption, CRC 32 error-checking and redundant messaging:

• FlexNet enables SmartPoints to communicate consumption, monitoring and control data direct to a Tower Gateway Basestation (TGB).
• TGBs installed on existing towers (50-600 feet tall) receive the data and transmit through hardwired network to the Regional Network Interface (RNI).
• Data reaching the RNI has been secured from SmartPoints to head-end. Sensus FlexWare now prepares the data for management information and transfer to the utility's data management systems (MDM, CIS) via hardwired network.
