Key 
Wireless Terms
FHSS - Frequency Hopping Spread 
Spectrum. A method for generating 
spread spectrum transmissions 
where the signal is switched 
between different frequency 
channels in a pseudorandom 
sequence known by both the 
transmitter and the receiver pair. 
FHSS is useful for sending small, 
redundant packets of data in a high 
interference environment.
FlexPower™ systems allow for a true 
wireless solution as the Node can be 
powered by line power (10-30V dc), 
solar panels, or battery power (3.6-
5.5V dc). A SureCross™ FlexPower 
battery module and unique power 
management system runs the 
Node and a device for up to five 
years, depending upon the power 
requirements of the device. Battery 
life is application specific. 
RF - Radio Frequency. Electro-
magnetic signals in the radio band.
 Rx/Tx - Receive. Transmit.
TDMA - Time Division Multiple 
Access. A wireless network 
communication architecture that 
provides a given slot of time for each 
device on the network. Provides 
guaranteed opportunity for each 
device to transmit to the gateway.
