AMI is a two-way communication network of smart meters, fixed networks (RF/cellular/Wi-Fi), data concentrators, head-end systems, and billing/management platforms. It enables utilities to collect interval usage data (e.g., hourly), send commands (like remote disconnects), and analyze metering in near-real time.
Key AMI devices include:
Smart meters for electricity, water, or gas with interval logging and two way comms
Communication modules/networks (RF mesh, cellular, PLC)
Data concentrators/gateways aggregating meter data
Head-end/MDMS platforms to collect, analyze, and manage meter information.
Pros: Faster, accurate billing; real-time leak/tamper detection; remote control; improved customer service .
Cons: High upfront investment; network operation and maintenance complexity; potential privacy/security risks; bandwidth/latency constraints .
An AMI module typically refers to the communication and data logging unit attached to a meter (electricity, gas, or water). It records interval data (e.g., hourly), manages two way connectivity, and regularly transmits data to fixed network receivers or gateways.
