What is the VisioUtil?
The VisioUtil is an application ready Sigfox enabled transceiver allowing to transmit data from utility meters (water, gas, electricity & heat meter compliant). The VisioUtil provides connection to national and global network infrastructure for reliable and secure communications. Meter data is available on the provided network backend for easy integration into new or existing platform front-ends. Powered through a Li-SOCL2 battery, it allows standard autonomy up to 10 years.

Battery Lifetime Estimation
The table below provides a battery lifetime estimate based on:
1.
Theoretical battery modelling
2. Battery exhaustion profiling
3. Device power
profile measurement for the various device states
4. The default VisioUtil is shipped with a 3
cell battery pack
5. Room temperature was used as reference – Temperature fluctuations will
have an effect on the battery lifetime and capacity
6. Below table can be used as a guideline
Typical Applications
* Smart Metering Applications
