Product specifications
For detailed product specifications, refer to the product data sheet for the
Fluidmesh 1200 VOLO.
Transceiver and gateway unit power consumption
In service, Fluidmesh transceiver units and gateway units consume
electrical power at the rates given in the table below.
IMPORTANT
In service, transceiver and gateway units will consume power
at various levels between the quoted lower limit and upper
limit, depending on data traffic load, signal strength,
environmental conditions such as line-of-sight and atmospheric
moisture, and other factors.
Note that the power consumption of transceiver units tends to
be affected in inverse proportion to the unit temperature (in
other words, power consumption tends to rise when the
temperature of the unit falls, and the other way around).
