Abstract:
The systems and methods described herein are directed to techniques for improving battery life performance of end devices in resource monitoring systems which transmit data using low-power, wide area network (LPWAN) technologies. Further, the techniques include providing sensor interfaces in the end devices configured to communicate with multiple types of metrology sensors. Additionally, the systems and methods include techniques for reducing the size of a concentrator of a gateway device which receives resource measurement data from end devices. The reduced size of the concentrator results in smaller, more compact gateway devices that consume less energy and reduce heat dissipation experienced in gateway devices. The concentrator may comply with modular interface standards, and include two radios configured for transmitting 1-watt signals. Lastly, the systems and methods include techniques for fully redundant radio architecture within a gateway device, allowing for maximum range and minimizing downtime due to transmission overlap.

Claim (Index 17):
The concentrator chip of  claim 15 , further comprising:\n a switching supply to provide power to the first power amplifier and the second power amplifier; wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:\n causing the switching supply to provide power at a first voltage to the first power amplifier, wherein the first voltage causes the first power amplifier to amplify the first signal to a first power; and \n causing the switching supply to provide power at a second voltage to the second power amplifier, wherein the second voltage causes the second amplifier to amplify the second signal to a second power, \n wherein the first voltage is different than the second voltage, and the first power is different than the second power.
