13 What is the practical maximum distance at which a handheld programmer will reliably receive the complete meter reading signal from a LoRaWAN MIU? Physical Characteristics Indicate the handheld programmer's weight and dimensions. Describe any features, such as a shoulder strap or belt strap, to facilitate carrying and preventing it from being dropped. Describe the durability of the unit, including its capacity to endure impacts from dropping onto hard surfaces and its resistance to intrusion from water. Batteries Does the handheld programmer use rechargeable batteries? If so, what type? If not, what does it use? How long does it take to fully recharge a battery after a full day of normal use? Can the batteries be recharged in charger cradles separate from the unit cradles? Can the battery be recharged from a 12-volt vehicle system? User Interface Indicate the display's overall dimensions, the number of characters displayed, and the height and width of the characters. Does the display allow alphanumeric characters? Include an illustration of the display screen and keypad. How does the unit enable the display to be easily readable in bright or dim light? Indicate the angular range readability. Audible Tones Describe any audible tones used by the unit and their function (e.g., confirming a reading or successful programming, warning of an out-of-limits condition, low battery, etc.). Can the volume be adjusted? Manual Entry Does the handheld programmer permit manual entry of meter readings and other information (for example, the information necessary to complete a meter or MIU investigation or repair work order)? If so, what other information can be entered? Describe its capability to record notes or comments. Hardware and Network Configuration Proposer will provide all the computer hardware and software needed for a complete and working system. What is the operating system of the system being proposed? Indicate the recommended configuration and number of units of the computer hardware (PCs, servers, other peripherals, printers, etc.) and software (operating system, communications, etc.) that [COMPANY] should have to properly operate the AMI system. Describe the proposed system architecture. Include a diagram with all hardware elements. Network switches, hubs, or additional infrastructure changes required must be proposed and costs must be reflected. Describe and justify the proposed server processor and storage capacities. Indicate the minimum expected availability time of the system as a percentage. Environmental Requirements Any workstation or control computer should be capable of operating in a normal office environment using normal office power supply, require no special installation, and be easy to relocate. Any server required should be capable of operating in a normal server environment. Describe any particular environmental requirements. Uninterruptible Power Supply
