The Nighthawk Fiber Hub is ideal for utilities who have mostly fiber throughout their service territory. It utilizes high bandwidth backhaul for one HUB per cluster of greater than 20 LEAF devices and the LEAF devices provide up to four hops to maximize coverage. It has a maximum HUB capacity of 150 LEAFs.
Features:
- The Nighthawk Ethernet HUB product is a self-contained mesh HUB device with a wired Ethernet uplink.
- Fiber hub is Adaptiv compatible – uses same Synapse mesh module
- Acts as a collector for multiple devices
- Technically an infrastructure device
- “Fiber” is used because the initial product offering has been designed to work with customer deployed PON networks
- Can be connected to any copper Ethernet interface
- Circuitry included to support cellular based version (replaces PON) – reduces operating costs (less cellular outtakes)
- Scalable, self-healing, self-configuring RF Mesh network
- Utilize High bandwidth Fiber backhaul
- One HUB per cluster of greater than 20 LEAF devices – electric and water
- LEAF devices provide up to 4 hops to maximize coverage
- Built-in security and redundancy
- Water interval data and leak detection with exceptional battery life
- Simple installation and maintenance
- Advanced Outage Management power fail detection
- Configurable blink and sustained outage event thresholds, event logging and data upload
- Rechargeable Battery Backup of 10 minutes to allow for last gasp transmissions
- Powers internal circuitry only
- Supports OTA firmware upgrades to associated mesh devices
- Robust end to end security and encryption
