Abstract:
The disclosed inventions include and apparatus and method for providing a universal Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) system configured with fly-by functionality. Such system may be configured to work in a plurality of modes including a walk-bay, drive-by, fixed network, and fly-by mode without hardware modifications. The system is configured to automatically calibrate so that the water meter transmitter operates at a minimum transmitted signal power level. Additional features include automatic hardware self-healing features where the system continues to function after certain hardware failures occur.

Claim (Index 19):
A data collection system configured for collecting real time data from a plurality of data locations, said data collection system comprising:\n a plurality of airborne devices each comprising a transceiver configured to store and execute route management code for a predefined data collection area for a plurality of data locations; wherein each said transceiver is configured to execute said route management code and to control its respective airborne device to maneuver said airborne device throughout said predefined data collection area and receive data-signals transmitted by data sources deployed in the data collection area according to parameters set by the route management code; and wherein the plurality of airborne devices are deployed so that there is at least one airborne device in range of each of said data locations so that real time data can be collected.
