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 1):
An airborne device for collecting data from a plurality of data locations, said airborne device comprising:\n a main board comprising a processing device associated with a memory configured for storing route management code for a predefined data collection area for a plurality of data locations, said receiver board comprising a plurality of main board interfaces; a plurality of communication modules wherein each said communication module defines a single channel receiver electrically associated with a dedicated antenna and further defining a module interface electrically associated with one of said plurality of main board interfaces; and an airborne device mechanically and electrically associated with said main board, wherein said processing device is configured to control said airborne device and wherein said processing device is further configured to execute said route management code and 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.
