Page 6: Introduction
I ntroduction The Itron Solar Battery AP (SBAP) is an access point (AP) that provides a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for gas-only and/or water-only deployments without relying on any overhead infrastructure or mounting assets. The SBAP communicates using Extended FAN Connectivity+ (EFC+) with a limited number of gas and water meters, and then backhauls the data over a cellular network. -
