  1. SocketGate v2.0 History, Development, and Status Presented March 7, 2008 Roger Pettey

  2. SocketGate Discussion Overview • Uses and application • Current SocketGate v1.0 • Issues and the need for upgrades • Need for SocketGate v2.0 • Changes and Upgrades • Timeline for v2.0

  3. SocketGate – Why do we need a SocketGate? • Acts as a collector for MeshReader data • Access Point: Makes the WAN connection to the head-end (SerViewCom) via back-haul • Co-located with the meter on the side of a building • Excellent solution for residential developments with underground facilities • Simple installation; cost-effective • SocketGate v2.0 is a revised and improved network product

  4. SocketGate - Mounting • Remove meter • Expose clamps • Re-mount SocketGate in the same space as the meter • Same for the S/G v1.0 or v2.0

  5. SocketGate – v1.0 Examples

  6. SocketGate v1.0 MeshGate • Version 1.0 – • No battery • Omni-directional LAN antenna • Note: Ethernet connection • Two-wire power supply

  7. SocketGate – v1.0 Issues • No Battery Back-up for RTPO • Assembled from existing components • Two separate functional parts • Susceptible to damage • Known leakage • Non-optimal design; Inflexible design

  8. SocketGate – v2.0 Concept Thin Housing Thicker Housing

  9. SocketGate – v2.0 Attributes • One piece design • Sealed from the elements • Sturdy design for safety and longevity in use • Final design has LAN antenna enclosed in front cover • Front cover could be changed to allow for smaller or larger battery • Improved RF performance • ‘Trilliant’ branded product • Improved esthetics
