On-Ramp Total Reach Network

The On-Ramp Total Reach Network is the first wireless network designed from the ground up to power wide-area machine-to-machine communication. Other wireless networks including cellular and mesh lack the reach, capacity and scalability of the OTR Network. On-Ramp’s patented Random Phase Multiple Access ™ technology is what enables the unprecedented reach, capacity and scalability of the network

“On-Ramp’s RPMA is as significant an innovation for M2M communication as CDMA was for traditional cellular.”
- Dr. Andrew Viterbi, CTO Qualcomm and On-Ramp Advisory Board Member

On-Ramp’s Total Reach Network is the only network powered by RPMA and the only network designed from the ground up to support wide-area M2M communications. The OTR Network operates in the ISM band and is globally free spectrum – there are no spectrum fees or regulatory overhead.

With unprecedented range and capacity come dramatically reduced network infrastructure costs. An On-Ramp Access Point can cover 400 sq miles when elevated on a communication tower, building or hilltop. Each Access Point can handle (depending on data requirements) over 16,000 end-points. This translates to dramatically less network infrastructure and dramatically faster return on investment. San Diego Gas & Electric has complete coverage of their 4,500 sq. mile territory and all of their critical assets with only 34 On-Ramp Access Points deployed. The On-Ramp Total Reach Network means faster deployments, faster ROI and lower TCO.

Connect Anywhere

Random Phase Multiple Access™ is a fundamental wireless innovation that changes the game for wide-area M2M communication. Only On-Ramp Total Reach Network is powered by RPMA and it is the only wide-area M2M network capable of -142 dBm receive sensitivity and the only network with 172 dB of link-budget. It is this incredible receive sensitivity and link-budget that enables the OTR Network to reach all meters and critical assets – urban, rural or even underground.

The On-Ramp Total Reach Network has been proven to penetrate below ground from distances up to a mile. There is no other wide-area M2M wireless technology on the planet that can do that. Underground coverage has been proven in a joint project funded by the United States Department of Energy and in partnership with multiple Southern California investor owned utilities. Only On-Ramp Total Reach Network can cover thousands of devices, for hundreds of square miles and even underground – that is Total Reach.

Connect Anything

The On-Ramp Total Reach Network is the only network with 172 dB of link-budget and -142 dBm receive sensitivity. This step forward in wireless technology for wide-area M2M means the same network that securely carriers meter data can carry distribution automation data. The same network that carries pipeline integrity data can carry well-head status data. The same network that carries demand response data can carry voltage readings. Deploying one network for all meter and sensor applications means dramatically lower TCO and much faster ROI.

Fastest ROI, Made Faster

To accelerate deployment, On-Ramp offers a Managed Service option for companies looking to get the fastest possible return-on-investment. Our managed service offers a 99.99% uptime SLA in a fully redundant, secure data center managed by a team of IT and wireless professionals. Scale your deployment quickly by leveraging On-Ramp’s managed service. You focus on your business, and On-Ramp focuses on building and managing your network rapidly to get you the fastest ROI and the lowest TCO.

Designed from the ground-up for wide-area machine-to-machine communication On-Ramp Total Reach Network can scale from single AP deployments for campus or local networks up to metro or regional deployments of tens of millions of end-points and thousands of APs.

Please contact sales to learn more about how our managed service can get you up and running quickly.

Turn-key Hardware

For customers that are not able to take advantage of the On-Ramp Managed Service, we offer a back-office Managed Appliance option. Available in a variety of configurations based on your performance and management needs, the Managed Appliance enables remote management of your network so you can stay focused on your business. Please contact On-Ramp sales to learn about the various options and customization options available to integrate our managed appliance into your enterprise.

On-Ramp Access Point

The On-Ramp Access Point is available in a variety of standard configurations including solar powered, rack-mountable and OEM packaging. On-Ramp deployment services will work with you on your network plan, deployment siting and set up. One AP can cover over 400 square miles when deployed on a communication tower, building or hilltop. Each AP communicates in a simple and efficient star topology with over 16,000 endpoints (depending on data usage.) With built-in security, dynamic failover, IP network management and simple provisioning the On-Ramp Access Point provides wide-area machine-to-machine networking with the fastest return on investment and the lowest total cost of ownership. Please contact On-Ramp sales to learn more about the configuration and management options of the On-Ramp Access Point.

On-Ramp Node

The On-Ramp Node is the modem for On-Ramp Total Reach Network.  The On-Ramp Node offers a standard SPI interface for rapid integration with metrology and sensor hardware. On-Ramp offers a complete reference platform for developers interested in getting Connected by On-Ramp.

Standards Based

On-Ramp Wireless is committed to the standardization of Total Reach Network technology. In an effort to accelerate this process, On-Ramp Wireless was a founding member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) 802.15.4K task group. Through this group, and in cooperation with other industry leaders, On-Ramp Wireless continues to move toward an open standard under the IEEE umbrella.
