Automatic Meter Reading Handbook Volume 1

Automatic Meter Reading technological advances in AMR has jumped by leaps and bounds in the last decade. The handbook not only explains the technology and theory behind such metering, but how it can be implemented for utility customers across the country.

Wireless meters, two-way metering, radio frequency propagation and integration with AMR systems and innovative demand response programs for utilities are all coming on-line throughout North America. This 96 page AMR/Metering handbook examines all of these systems and many more, including how smart meters will be affected by the Energy Policy Act, and better ways to sell advanced metering.
