12 Smart Metering: issues and solutions

13 AMI: example 13

14 Smart Metering: Issues Utilities have concern about: o security/privacy o Reliability o System Integration No global standard for energy data format or communication technology (PLC, Wireless). Different levels of communication areas: HAN, NAN, WAN. Expertise is needed. 14

15 Wireless Solutions design service? GPRS/Wimax modem directly in Meters. Pros: infrastructure is simple, to rely on Telco. Cons: subscription (pay every month) RF (mesh or not) + gateway or + handheld or + vehicle Can be short / long range Pros: No telco subscription Cons: deployment is more complex 15

16 RF Mesh topology ZAMI 16
