Ultimate success in AMR with reduced complexity
Delivering cost-effective and reliable services to its customers is essential for utility companies and for many, the service and supply demand continues to place a burden on the support and systems infrastructure. Automating processes and utilizing wireless communications technology can effectively deliver new service capabilities while providing cost reductions, operational efficiencies and improved customer satisfaction.

Take advantage of Wireless IP
Intelligent decisions at the physical edges of the network can maximize the ROI of AMR and smart metering applications. Today, the two key enablers of these solutions are the Internet—essentially the connection platform—coupled with the middleware that enables the connection to multiple applications and databases.



Bridging the connection between the utility and meters – How it works
It begins with a sound design, one that incorporates embedding intelligence at the edge of the network leveraging a wireless platform that incorporates the open software environment necessary to build AMR/Smart Metering applications. Enfora’s embedded software environment enables the rapid development of essential capabilities without the need and cost of a separate application processor. Additionally, Enfora’s innovative architecture simplifies potentially complex issues surrounding antenna design, SIM card handling, manufacturing and the on-going maintenance critical to delivering an effective solution.

Enfora’s Service Gateway can be utilized to quickly build communications links to the meters – offering provisioning and over-the-air (OTA) upgrades that enhance overall systems design and the proactive management of existing enterprise applications.



Reduce project and operational costs
IP connectivity provides the foundation for cost-effective simplicity in AMR applications development and operation. During development, project costs are reduced by utilizing Enfora’s services gateway as it minimizes the time spent programming and debugging system connectivity challenges. After rollout, Enfora-enabled edge intelligence helps reduce operational costs by managing device communication and costly airtime usage.
