…and towards the focus on the customers
”I would like to understand my electricity bill.”
”I would like to be able to pay for my real
electricity consumption only.”
”I would like to understand the
information in order to know what I am

Comparison - Radio or PLC technology
PLC Communication
Radio Communication
Installation and O & M Communication
• Placement of equipment up high to secure radio connection
• May require installation of a external antenna
• Requires 2 people to undertake service
• Placement of equipment low
• No need for an installation of an extra antenna
• Requires only 1 person to undertake service actions
• PLC based communication on the dedicated A-band for power line communication
• After installation, the set-up between the Concentr ator database and the Central AMR system, is initiated by the AMR system. The delivery point must have been created in the Ce ntral AMR system
• The Central AMR system initiate the meter read coll ection by using the network IP-addresses
• GPRS communication between collector and the centra l system
• The system only collects meter reads stored in the meter for theprevious day. Missing data needs separate handling.
• System influence from power line interference, eg. engines and pumps
• Radio based communication on the free band, frequen cy 433MHz
• After installation, the meters are logging on to th e Collector by themselves and reports to the Central AMR system
• The Central AMR system initiate the meter read coll ection by dialling up the Collector
• GSM communication between collector and the central system
• The system collects all meter reads stored in the m eter
• Weather sensitive – better radio communication when cloudy
