Solutions

Meters, data collection terminals and management software combined into one system for electricity, water and gas.

AMI system

A modular advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) system, built to evolve over the long term. Its design priorities are universality, openness, security, performance, availability and intelligence.

The system consists of a meter data management system (MDMS), prepayment management (PPM), a head-end system (HES), user information management and asset management. Modules can be combined to suit each project's requirements and application.

Application management

  • Billing
  • Payment
  • Meter data management
  • Customer relationship management
  • Cloud server

Data collection

  • Handheld unit (HHU)
  • Collection port
  • Concentrator and collectorPower line carrier (PLC), RS485
  • Concentrator and collectorGPRS, RF, NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, Bluetooth
  • GatewayLoRaWAN
  • Base stationGPRS, 3G, 4G, 5G, NB-IoT

Users

  • Smart electricity, water and gas meters
  • Homes
  • Hotels
  • Commercial buildings
  • Industrial sites

Smart prepayment

Prepayment built on the AMI system, for electricity, water and gas meters.

  1. Pay

    Customers buy credit with a card, at a vending point or through a mobile app.

  2. Token

    Credit is delivered as a token generated through a security module.

  3. Manage

    The utility manages accounts with prepayment management (PPM), the meter data management system (MDMS) and asset management.

  4. Deliver credit

    The head-end system reaches each meter through a concentrator or gateway over LoRaWAN, power line carrier, NB-IoT or cellular networks.

Automatic meter reading

Readings are collected remotely over the network and passed to the head-end system for billing and analysis.

  • Wired: power line carrier (PLC) and RS485
  • Wireless: GPRS, 3G, 4G, 5G, NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, RF and Bluetooth
  • On-site reading with handheld units where no network is available

Multi-utility metering

Electricity, water and gas meters can be read and managed on the same AMI system.

Medium-voltage power line carrier

Communication equipment that carries data over medium-voltage power lines. See the medium-voltage carrier equipment.
