A highly advanced meter data collection system, designed to support a host of data communication media including both circuit (CSD) and packet switched (TCPIP) transport media interfaces.

The unique combination of Ei’s metrology, software and real-time collection capability reaches beyond conventional AMR capability and extends into applications such as critical peak pricing and demand response. Scalable SCADA type functionality is also enabled at a very competitive cost.

• > Interval Data Collection from most common Interval Meter Types
• > Global data collection from circuit or packet switched and IP enabled wired or wireless devices
• > Capacity to support high volumes of simultaneous collects from meter devices in multiple markets
• > A sophisticated suite of AMR collection management and Telco reporting tools
• > Real-time data collection supports reads on a per minute basis if required for certain customer applications
• > Full integration with Ei’s Interactive Back Office (iBO)
• > Support for metering and smart-grid control networks
