Abstract: There is provided an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system including a plurality of gate-ways interconnected by a network comprising a plurality of subnets based on one or more types of networking protocols, each of the plurality of gateways communicatively coupled to or integrated in a metering device; and a concentrator connected to the network for receiving metering data from the metering devices. The concentrator and the plurality of gateways each defines a communication node in the network. In particular, each of the gateways is configured to store a route information comprising at least a primary route information and is operable to route uplink data received based on the route information, the primary route information indicating a predetermined one of the communication nodes for the gateway to route the uplink data to next as a first priority.
