1 Corpus Christi, TX Automated Meter Reading (AMR) System Fixed Network AMR System using WiFi Network Jeffrey King, Northrop Grumman IT Opportunities of Wireless Broadband Ogilvie Gericke Director of Information Systems City of Corpus Christi, TX W2I Digital Cities Convention, March 1, 2006
2 Typical Fixed Network System Backhaul Network Cell Phone Fiber WiFi Etc. Unlicensed = 300 to 1000 ft range Licensed = 1 to 3 mile range Gas Electric Meter
3 The STAR Fixed Network AMR System Features & Highlights: Transmitter Programmable to time transmission (5 min to 12 hr) 20 year Battery Life under 15 year Warranty 1 mile (pit) to 3 mile transmitter range Uses affordable Collectors on typical 1 mile grid to aggregate signals Gas and Water meters Works with every common meter type (Water & Gas) Electric TOU meter application under development Infinite Scalability with back-end integration/ data handling as well as system geographic expansion Proven Reliability Attractive ROI
4 STAR Fixed Network AMR System Operation Meter Transmitter Units (MTUs) wake up at their programmed interval and transmit a short message containing an ID number, meter reading, tamper status and other information One MTU can handle two co-located meters (cost savings) One or more Data Collectors (DCUs) receive transmissions and decode and store them in memory DCUs make a daily connection through City s WiFi network to computer and transfer readings data MTU s can serve as a Datalogger to capture info more frequently
5 Meter Transmitter - Water (Wall Mount)
6 Meter Transmitter - Water (Pit Application)
7 Meter Transmitter - Gas (Direct Mount) Pulser device available for wall mount applications
8 STAR Data Collector - Features Typically provides 1 square mile of coverage, with capacity for 30,000 meters per square mile Solar power or City-provided 110 service, no connection to power lines WiFi (or fiber-optic/ Cellular), no connection to phone lines Full diagnostics
