Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
AMI includes the communications hardware and software, advanced
meters and all data management systems necessary to store, validate
and transmit the vast amount of data that will be collected via a true
advanced metering system.
Advanced Metering
Meters and communications hardware capable of recording energy
either in real-time or other time-measured increments, such as every
15 minutes, and able to transmit data two-way on demand or in
predefined schedules. Advanced Metering can refer to solid-state
meters pre-equipped with a two-way AMR device or older meters with
an advanced metering device retrofitted on them, thus providing the
same two-way capabilities.

AMI Adoption – Recent Studies from 2007
+100+ utilities surveyed
– 50% electric, 35% gas, 15% water
+The percentage of utilities planning near-future
AMR/AMI installations doubled from
– 9% in 2006 to 18% in 2007.
+Electric and water utilities see AMI differently
– Electric utilities generally see it as two-way metering
along with advanced utility applications
– Water utilities see AMI as fixed metering.

expected to grow over the next 2-5 years
Price endpoint (meter/endpoint combined) continues to fall
due to increased demand and integration of module into
meter platforms
Typically utilities with electric and more than 500,000
endpoints are using MDM (meter data management)
products for access and delivery of data across all functional
areas of the utility
California and Texas Commission requirements for AMI
metering solutions to have
– Remote disconnect
– TOU/LP/Demand
– Home Area Networking (HAN)
– for all automated meters is setting a new benchmark for
AMI suppliers.
The Return for Investment
+Automatically retrieved meter read
+Improved outage management
+Preventive maintenance
+Virtual disconnects/reconnects
+Improved line loss statistics
+Fleet cost reduction
+Improved safety record for field revenue
collection division
+TOU metering
