Allegro AMI Fixed Network
Allegro™ is a branded suite of AMI communication technologies from Master Meter. Allegro helps address a problem that utilities often face when considering AMI – regardless of a particular utility’s nuances and deployment challenges, the same ‘one size fits all’ AMI radio choice is pushed by a vendor. It brings to mind the adage, ‘when you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail.’ We believe that a mix and match approach of different underlying communication technologies which share a common endpoint design is a highly efficient and cost-effective approach that delivers the greatest results.
That’s why we’ve developed a toolbox full of choices in communication tech. Allegro Licensed (ideal for densely populated areas), Allegro Cellular (ideal for remote areas or the entire city), Allegro IoT (a LoRa-based smart choice for smart cities), and Allegro SmartGrid (our GridLinx endpoint that piggybacks water meters onto the Landis & Gyr GridStream electric smart grid without additional infrastructure).

BENEFITS
1 UTG
Patented Under-the-Glass (UTG) register delivers powerful AMI network results without wires or connections for simplified deployment
2 Interoperable
Allegro UTG is built on the Interpreter register platform to work with any competitor meter
3 Patented
The endpoint Smart Antenna™ automatically adjusts the RF signal if performance-robbing water is present (flooded pits).
4 ROI
The UTG register lowers long term ownership cost by reducing maintenance hassles, and speeds up the deployment process.
5 Reach
Allegro’s extensive geographic RF reach means more coverage in less deployment time, and reduced cost.
6 Two-way
Full communication between the utility and the customer provides for in-demand reads, responsive alerts, and firmware upgrades.
7 Synchronized
Get an accurate understanding of Non-Revenue Water (NRW) with precisely synced consumption & production meter information.
8 Security
Allegro’s exclusive time-sequenced architecture and AES 128 / 256 hardware and software encryption provides an optimal security posture.
9 Safety
Our minimized signal duration and communication structure produces less energy than a cell phone or microwave oven.
