Powerful Support Tools for Smart Network Deployments and Maintenance
The EkaNet™ Wireless Network Field Tool suite consists of three independent applications that allow an end-user support team to install, configure, and maintain an EkaNet™ mesh network consisting of electric, water, and gas meter nodes.
The EkaNet™ Surveyor is used for site surveys and is designed to assist the process of establishing that wireless connectivity is available at various points and links in the network. It can also be used to plan the location of the relay nodes.
The Gateway Maintenance Manager is used for gateway diagnostics and maintenance.
The Node Maintenance Manager is used for Node diagnostics maintenance and installation configuration. These tools allow end-users to set up and configure the EkaNet™ Smart Networks. By permitting active fault identification and diagnostics, problem correction, and data recovery, failed Nodes can be quickly discovered.
Taken together, the EkaNet™ Field Tool suite facilitates rapid rollout and system deployment while also providing the utility field support team with valuable ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting tools.
