18 Situation Analysis: General Infrastructure Challenges Must be designed to be consistent with emerging industry management and security policies now developing There is not a set of consistent of policies across the industry Systems will pose significant challenges to current systems engineering practices to get correct AMI Systems must effectively integrate components from different vendors and industries Some necessary component technology exists (i.e.encryption) however Additional work is needed on both components and architecture development 18

19 Customer Communications Situation Analysis Utilities moving toward designs of customer communications systems Significant deployments planned millions of units Common requirements that are sufficient for common equipment designs for the industry is an urgent need Need to integrate/distill libraries of requirements from Utility User Groups and Standards Organizations Network and Systems Management (including security) on the scales needed by the industry still needs to be resolved Standards efforts are fragmented across different initiatives 19
