Wireless AMI for India Should: Be simple and easy to implement, by design upgrade Use a Frequency with good range and penetration Use a bidirectional Interface to / from the meter Operate in point to point or in Mesh with DCU (Data Concentrator Unit) Enable seamless integration to a MDMS (meter data management server) Report important relevant data in real time Allow remote configuration and management Be interoperable between multiple manufacturers
Which technology is most suitable for metering in India? PLC 2.4GHz Infrastructure Copper quality Crowded space, competing technologies Range and penetration Mesh ISM Sub GHz (865-867MHz) Range and penetration Dedicated frequency Data rate Mesh / DCU
CyNet TM Real World Mesh Optimised for each application - Lighting, Metering. Flexible routing layers - AODV, Nano-AODV, DPR Self Heals, Self Forms - easy to deploy. Optimises data throughput by on demand route freezing Dynamic CCA able to automatically adjust performance to local (and perhaps changing) RF conditions range improved by adaptive software. Many man years of development by our team in Cambridge, UK. Proven in real world deployments in India and China. This is a product designed for real world deployments not designed by committee.
