Aprisa SR+ User Manual 1.11.1 

 

Product Overview 

 

Network Coverage and Capacity

 

The  Aprisa  SR+  has  a  typical  link  range  of  up  to  120  km,  however,  geographic  features,  such  as  hills, 
mountains,  trees  and  foliage,  or  other  path  obstructions,  such  as  buildings,  will  limit  radio  coverage. 
Additionally, geography may reduce network capacity at the edge of the network where errors may occur 
and require retransmission. However, the Aprisa SR+ uses 10W output power and Forward Error Correction 
(FEC)  which  greatly  improves  the  sensitivity  and  system  gain  performance  of  the  radio  resulting  in  less 
retries and minimal reduction in capacity. 

Ultimately, the overall performance of any specific network will be defined by a range of factors including 
the RF output power, the modulation used and its related receiver sensitivity, the geographic location, the 
number  of  remote  radios  in  the  base  station  coverage  area  and  the  traffic  profile  across  the  network. 
Effective network design will distribute the total number of remote radios across the available base stations 
to ensure optimal geographic coverage and network capacity. 

One base station can register and operate with up to 500 remote / repeater stations. 

The practical limit of remote / repeater stations that can operate with one base station is determined by a 
range of factors including the number of services, the packet sizes, the protocols used, the message types 
and network timeouts.  

 

Automatic Registration

 

On start-up, the remote radio transmits a registration message to the base station which responds with a 
registration response. This allows the base station to record the details of all the remote radios active in 
the network. 

If a remote is not able to register with base station in 5 attempts, then a ‘Network Configuration Warning’ 

alarm event will be raised indicating that a remote is not registered with the base station. If a remote radio 
cannot register with the base station after 30 minutes, it will automatically reboot. 

If a remote radio has registered with the base station but then loses communication, it will automatically 
r

eboot 30 minutes after the ‘Remote Communications Lost’ alarm event. If the remote communications lost 

alarm is disabled, the remote will not reboot. 

 

Remote Messaging

 

There  are  two  message  types  in  the  Aprisa  SR+  network,  broadcast  messages  and  unicast  messages. 
Broadcast  messages  are  transmitted  by  the  base  station  to  the  remote  radios  and  unicast  messages  are 
transmitted by the remote radio to the base station. These messages are commonly referred to as uplink 
(unicast remote to base) and downlink (broadcast base to remote). 

All  remotes  within  the  coverage  area  will  receive  broadcast  messages  and  pass  them  on  to  either  the 
Ethernet  or  serial  interface.  The  RTU  determines  if the  message  is  intended  for  it  and  will  accept  it  or 
discard it.
