12 Protecting Data In the case of a LoRaWAN collector failure, the system must have redundancy that automatically collects the data from the MIUs. This must be done without operator intervention. Describe how the proposed system accomplishes this task. Other Data Collectors If the data communication system has available or incorporates other LoRaWAN collectors in addition to the utility-owned LoRaWAN collectors, provide information about the owner(s) of the other collectors, data control, security, and annual fees/hosting of the communications. Mode of Operation The system must have capabilities for relaying signals to the MIUs for advanced functions such as on-demand readings, remote shutoff, flow restriction, etc. Radio Licenses FCC Licenses The LoRaWAN MIUs and collectors utilize the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band (902–928 MHz) open frequency range. [COMPANY] will not accept a limiting, licensed frequency to operate their system. Portable Interrogation, Field Programming, and Device Testing Portable interrogators may be required to capture readings from LoRaWAN MIUs for other special reading situations and MIU troubleshooting. Portable programming units may be required to program MIUs or meter registers. Portable field test units may be required to diagnose problems with MIUs or other system components. The possible functions are aggregated in this section. Proposer shall respond to this subsection separately for each separate device, if there are more than one. Number of Units Proposer shall supply all handheld programmers required for proposer and its installation contractor. An additional [XX] handheld programmers are needed for maintenance by [COMPANY]'s employees. Pricing and totals for these latter handhelds shall be included in the proposal. Functions/Modes of Operation Describe all the functions of each handheld programmer in each of the following areas: (1) Portable interrogation. The handheld programmer should be capable of alerting (if necessary) and receiving the signals from MIUs. The handheld programmer should be capable of downloading consumption profile data. (2) Field programming. The handheld programmer must be capable of programming the MIU with any information required for operation and not be pre-programmed. It must be capable of providing instructions to the MIU concerning the make, model, and data protocol of the meter being connected. (3) Field testing. The handheld programmer must be able to locate and diagnose problems with a MIU unless the system incorporates an alternate way to make such diagnoses. [COMPANY] desires that the unit be able to ascertain the condition or remaining life of the battery in an MIU. Portable Interrogator Range
