High connectivity, low power, low cost advanced metering infrastructure

Abstract

High connectivity, Low power, Low cost Advanced Metering Infrastructure (HiLL AMI) targets connectivity difficulty at the last mile with smart meters and achieves 99-percent-plus connectivity at low cost and consumes low power. There is a last-mile networking problem at the user end, the small physical segment starting from user smart meter to the point where the meter gets hooked up to the utility's main communications network. When a meter is hidden inside the private space, behind building walls, the connection becomes difficult. HiLL AMI provides cost-effective last-mile solution for AMI implementation by utility companies anywhere in the world. HiLL AMI is a technology for the utility's metering network to maintain stable connection to all users' smart meters in order to get everyone involved in our gross effort in carbon reduction.
