Technology
Using the free 2.4 GHz ISM bands, On-Ramp’s hardware has been tested at over a 30-mile range in the 2.4 GHz free ISM band while maintaining low power operation. It is optimized for robustness, range and capacity.
On-Ramp is a founding member of and actively working within the IEEE 802.15.4k standards task group, which specifies the physical layer and media access control for Low-Energy Critical Infrastructure Monitoring (LECIM).
Acknowledgement
On September 1, 2010, the World Economic Forum announced the company as a Technology Pioneer for 2011.
On April 4, 2011, Bloomberg announced the company as a 2011 New Energy Pioneer.
Network technology naming
In January 2013, On-Ramp Total Reach network (OTR) became the new name of their wireless technology to eliminate confusion over ULP, also standing for ultra-low power wireless, a wireless telecommunication standardization effort. In 2015, the name is RPMA® (Random Phase Multiple Access).
Ultra-Link Processing (ULP)
On-Ramp’s Ultra-Link Processing (ULP) communication system provides connectivity for a number of device monitoring applications, such as Smart Grid, including Smart Metering, water distribution systems, environmental monitoring, and energy-optimizing infrastructure systems. The ULP was created as an alternative to the current cellular and wireless mesh systems used within the Smart Grid and industrial automation applications today.
Ultra-Link Processing (ULP) System Release 1.2
The Ultra-Link Processing (ULP) System Release 1.2 is a global device monitoring system uniquely developed for Smart Grid and other low power, critical infrastructure monitoring applications. A development of On-Ramp’s ULP wireless system, the ULP System Release 1.2 delivers expanded features including the enabling of secure, wide-area, low-cost coverage and capacity, even for hard-to-reach powered or battery-operated meters and sensors connecting to utility and other industrial applications.
Remote Monitoring Unit (RMU)
The Remote Monitoring Unit (RMU) is a certified Smart Grid and infrastructure-monitoring device to monitor the activity of power lines and grid assets. In its first application deployment, the RMU provides specific functionality for monitoring and automatic alarm notification of solar-powered and line-power obstruction warning lights in electric transmission towers, cellular towers and other obstacles.
