Direct Cellular Connectivity for Smart Meters

Market Insight

Most utilities in the United States have deployed their advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) projects using either radio frequency (RF) mesh or power line carrier (PLC) connectivity in the neighborhood area network (NAN), connecting clusters of meters to a local data concentrator for backhaul to the utility’s head-end. The key argument for doing this has been cost: RF mesh and PLC have traditionally been seen as less costly to deploy than connecting every meter directly in a point to point (P2P) configuration over a cellular network.
