What is the mechanism for transmitting data from EnerTrac monitoring sensors?
EnerTrac sensors continuously monitor the resource being measured and transmits the information hourly using RFID to centralized recievers. The receivers rely on standard internet protocols to transmit monitoring data back to EnerTrac. This serves to drive down the costs of the monitoring service and the sensors do not interfere with customer's phone or security systems. A more in-depth discussion of the EnerTrac monitoring system is avaliable on the network page.
