What is a Meter Transceiver Unit?

A meter transceiver is 1 of 3 components of Automated Meter Reading (AMR) equipment in the water meter box:

An electronic register that is physically attached to the water meter;
A meter transponder that is connected via wire to the electronic register; and
A vehicle transceiver in the meter reader's drive-by vehicle.

As a meter reader's vehicle equipped with a transceiver drives along a meter-reading route, the transceiver sends a radio signal to meter transceiver within range to notify them to transmit, via radio signal, meter reads back to the transceiver. The meter transceiver gets the reading from the electronic register and sends it back via radio signal, to the transceiver where it is collected for bill processing.
