Coronis smart data platforms

Coronis smart data platforms, based on Wavenis wireless technology, have been deployed in millions of residential, industrial and commercial installations around the world, linking consumers’ gas, water and electricity meters/monitoring products efficiently with operator’s back-end information systems.

These platforms are used for wireless walk-by, drive-by and fully automated fixed network metering. Wavenis wireless technology provides the ultra-long range and extremely low power consumption that are essential for effective last-mile, outdoor coverage in metering networks that serve entire cities, including dense urban areas as well as sprawling suburban and commercial zones.

Now with its second-generation platform, Coronis takes metering/monitoring infrastructure even further, providing users and integrator partners with even easier deployment for large-scale networks, longer battery life for its wireless meter monitoring devices and synchronised network infrastructure for optimal service in the long run.

Smart data platforms comprise utility meters with integrated or external wireless modules, plus range extenders, GPRS or ethernet gateways and network management tools that enable two-way end-to-end communications for automated meter index transmission, leak detection, backflow, tampering, low-battery and on-demand reading.

OEM modules and finished products allow users to integrate Wavenis into their own products and or use the Coronis finished products to build scalable wireless monitoring networks for specific M2M applications.

An example of such integration is Halytech’s Spider system. Halytech is an Australian company specialising in the design and manufacture of data logging, remote monitoring and control instruments using wired and wireless technology.

The company has used the Coronis Wavecard in its Spider which is a GSM/GPRS modem concentrator operating at 433 MHz.

This unit can control up to 200 wireless endpoints, monitoring water, gas or electricity meters reporting at preset intervals the flow of water, gas or electricity and sending the information back via the internet to an FTP server where user reports are generated.

The Spider System has been deployed across Australia and New Zealand in major shopping centres, industrial complexes, hotels, food processing plants and semi-government organisations.

Coronis has also been integrated into E State Automation’s Cellvisor products.

By adding Wavenis wireless remote connectivity to the CellVisor CV3000 series control module, a finely tuned balance of wireless connectivity and low power consumption is possible. CellVisor and Wavenis deliver reliable wireless communication in harsh rural and industrial environments.

E State Automation Wavenis Applications that use Wavecards and Wavenis Endpoints include: PlayState remote park management system where the company has developed a system that allows council staff to remotely monitor and control irrigation, field lighting and access at its park sites via the internet.

Also, E State, in conjunction with BAT Electronics, has developed several remote monitoring and control solutions for rural irrigation. This has been installed at many farm locations throughout northern NSW, southern Queensland and Victoria.
